Head Start provides early learning, meals, health screenings, & stability for children from birth to 5 years old.
Because Trump shut down the government, these essential services are about to disappear for thousands of families.

61 years ago, Head Start was created with a belief that every child deserves a fair shot – no matter their zip code or family’s income.
Since then, it has delivered early learning, nutrition and family support to millions of working families. #StandForHeadStart

For decades, Head Start has set up our kids for success through high-quality early childhood education. I visited Jeff Seymour Family Center in El Monte to see their Head Start program in action!
I will never stop fighting to protect the future of our children’s education.

Head Start works. It is a vital lifeline for affordable child care and early childhood education that we should be working to expand, not defund. It was great to be in Racine today to hear about what Head Start means to these Wisconsin families.

Head Start sets our kids up for success, and it’s next on Republicans’ chopping block.
Today I joined MN Head Start administrators, parents and students to push back against this Administration’s attack on early education. I won’t stop fighting for our kids.

Thanks @friedman.house.gov for your support of #HeadStart. It’s a program that should be strengthened, not scrapped. #StandForHeadStart
Head Start doesn’t just prepare our children. It helps make life more affordable for our parents.
Trump ran on cutting costs, but his policies are just making everything more expensive. I’m commited to helping our children and families by defending programs like Head Start.
