Act Now to Save Head Start!

Imagine being a parent who wants nothing more than to give their child a fair start in life — a chance to learn, grow, and thrive before they ever set foot in a kindergarten classroom. For millions of families across the United States, Head Start is that chance.

But now, that chance is in jeopardy.

The latest federal budget proposal includes a devastating cut: the complete elimination of funding for Head Start nationwide. If this budget is approved, countless children — some of the most vulnerable in our country — will lose access to early education, healthy meals, emotional support, and reliable child care. Families who depend on this lifeline will be left scrambling for alternatives that simply don’t exist.

We cannot let this happen.

What Is Head Start?

For over 60 years, Head Start has been a cornerstone of opportunity for these children. It provides preschool education, nutritious meals, health screenings, and family support services — all designed to prepare children for success in school and in life. Research has shown that Head Start not only boosts school readiness but also improves long-term outcomes in health, graduation rates, and employment.

Head Start works — and it works for the people who need it most.

What’s at Stake?

If the proposed budget passes, it will:

• Shut down Head Start centers across the country.

• Put thousands of early childhood educators and staff out of work.

• Leave parents without affordable, safe child care.

• Set back decades of progress in educational equity.

What Can You Do?

We still have time to act — but we must act now. A national petition has been launched to tell Congress that eliminating Head Start is a mistake.
