Head Start is 58 Years Old!
It’s a celebration of success for children and families! Head Start has grown from an 8-week demonstration project in 1965 to include full-day, full-year services. In 58 years, Head Start has served more than 36 million children and families across California and the nation!
Universal Prekindergarten Resources
Research shows that young children who receive high-quality learning opportunities are more likely to succeed in school and in life. California’s Universal Prekindergarten (UPK) program intends to provide this foundation for all four-year-old children by 2025-26. UPK includes the following: Head Start, California State Preschool, transitional kindergarten, subsidized programs operated by community-based organizations with a preschool learning experience, other prekindergarten programs serving three- and four-year-old children, family childcare, private preschool, and Expanded Learning Opportunities programs (ELO-P).
