Research on Head Start has shown that participating families are more likely to invest time in literacy
activities with their children, both while enrolled and years after their children graduate from the program.5 Over Head Start children’s lives they are less likely to need special education services6 or engage in
unhealthy behaviors7 and are more likely to achieve success in school and in life. The Head Start investment pays off: for each $1 invested, Head Start yields an annual ROI ranging from 7 – 9%

Hi Janella
One thing that I love about Head Start it all the services it provide to its student. Many of Head Start students experience their very first dental visit while they are enrolled into the program. At the beginning of the school year students get their vision checked among other things. They also offer speech therapy. They also contract with a behavior therapist to assist with children who have behavior problems.
