DON’T ALLOW HEAD START TO BE DEFUNDED!
Eliminating funding for Head Start would be catastrophic! To children. To families. To communities.
The National Head Start Association (NHSA) is urgently calling on Michigan residents to help protect the Head Start program from potential federal funding cuts. Head Start provides essential early childhood education, health, and family support services to over a million children nationwide, including many in Michigan's rural and underserved communities. Without adequate funding, families could lose access to these critical services, and children may enter school unprepared .
Why This Matters for Michigan:
-
Support for Families: Head Start enables parents to work while ensuring their children receive quality early education.
-
Economic Impact: The program strengthens local economies by supporting working families and creating jobs.
-
Community Well-being: In many areas, especially rural parts of Michigan, Head Start is the only available early learning and childcare option.
