    The Head Start program is a Federal program that was established in 1965 by President Lyndon B. Johnson; this program was designed to assist families and children who were living below the poverty line. “It was designed to help break the cycle of poverty by providing preschool children of low-income families with a comprehensive program to meet their emotional, social, health, nutritional, and psychological needs and support families in improving their lives.” (Head Start, 2015) For many years Head Start was a program to help prepare children for school, and under the Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act of 2007 now the local grantees are “required to develop school readiness goals and evaluate children’s progress toward these goals.”…

    Head Start Policy Analysis

    Economic stratification in the United States has greatly impacted the quality of education for students from low-income families.

In this policy brief, we will examine each of these policy alternatives and explain why Head Start and Early Head Start are the…
