Description
Head Start is a comprehensive child development program which serves income-eligible Native American families with children ages three to five years. The program's overall goal is to bring about a greater degree of social competence in children of low-income families. Head Start is designed to help children with their everyday effectiveness when dealing with their present environment as well as helping them develop the skills needed to be ready for later responsibilities in school and life. Activities are based on individual development levels determined by screening and a variety of assessment instruments.
