Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:

Its comprehensive nature views the child as a whole, requiring medical, dental, and nutritional assessment as well as intellectual growth. Extensive health, education, and social services were offered to children and their families from the inception of Head Start. Head Start continues today to provide health and medical screening and treatment for thousands of youngsters.
