This May, we are so excited to celebrate Head Start's 60th Birthday! Since its beginning, Head Start has served around 40 million children through high-quality early childhood education and home visiting paired with family resources, parent supports, healthcare, and nutritious meals. At Brightpoint's Scott Child & Family Center in Bloomington, one mother describes Head Start as "the best experience I have had in my parenting life!" She shared, "The center has helped with coats, food, kind words, and warm greetings" and her daughter is "happier and consistently learning emotional intelligence" from her teachers. Join us in celebrating the transformational impact of Head Start on children and their families! 🎉Illinois Head Start Association #StandForHeadStart #Brightpoint #StrongFamiliesThrivingChildren #HeadStart (fb)
