Head Start As a Family
Support Program
Renewing a Community Ethnic
Developed by the Harvard Family Research Project, this publication profiles six Head Start programs: Dade County head Start in Florida; Albina Head Start in Oregon; Newark-Leaguers, Inc. Head Start in New Jersey; Murray Head Start in Kentucky; Santa Clara County Office of Education Head Start in California; and HACAP Head Start in Iowa.
Each program accomplished many of the goals set forth in Creating a 21st Century Head Start and the Silver Ribbon Report marking the 25th anniversary of Head Start, in that they have collaborated with school systems and other social service providers, led the way in early childhood education reform, improved health services for children, sought new sources of funding to improve program quality and to foster program expansion, and endeavored to find better ways to help parents attain self-sufficiency.
