Head Start programs in Pennsylvania and across the country promote school readiness for children ages birth to five from income-eligible families by supporting the whole child. For instance, children at Luzerne County Head Start engaged in STEM-based classes where they learned about the solar eclipse by enacting the moon passing between the sun and Earth. They studied plants and the environment, experimented with musical instruments like the guitar, violin, and glockenspiel, and created art projects, including photo timelines of their years in Head Start. They also enjoyed a visit from Dr. Seuss, who read some of his stories.

Head Start & Early Head Start programs in Delaware reflect the national commitment of focusing on the whole child, by providing a strong education for little ones from birth to age 5 along with resources and support for families. Last year their activities included practicing reading and listening skills (Mother Goose and other guest authors visited classes!), hands-on art and science projects, collaboration and social-emotional learning, along with trips to the local firehouses and police stations to learn about safety. Thanks to all the teachers and staff who make these robust programs possible.
