This Oct., Superior Head Start Preschool and others like it from across the country will join together to celebrate Head Start and to strengthen the nation’s awareness of the Head Start program.
Head Start families have long recognized the positive effects the program has on their children. On average, Head Start graduates rank higher in language, literacy, social conduct and physical development than their non-Head Start peers.
Head Start children are also significantly more likely to complete high school and attend college than those who did not participate in the program. With more than 22 million alumni to date, Head Start promotes school readiness and is making a positive impact on the lives of children across the country.
Head Start programs in years past have sponsored a number of activities throughout October, among these children’s parades and festivals, on-site open houses, special exhibits, and community conferences.
Not only are such activities an excellent way to showcase the center and its children, but they also raise community awareness of the Head Start cause.
For more information, contact Hilda Cardenas, Director, 520-689-2812, or visit Superior Head Start at 150 Lobb Ave.
