Infographic: Holistic Support for Children and Caregivers in Head Start Programs

Head Start is a federal program that supports early learning and development for children in families with low incomes. The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation’s (OPRE) work evaluating Head Start sheds light on how a holistic approach to early childhood education affects children and families. Mathematica collaborates with OPRE on research using Head Start data to understand and meet families’ needs, improve professional learning for educators, and ultimately support children’s outcomes.
