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.

Head Start redefined the role of parents by expecting them to serve as active participants. Parents are involved in the program at all levels: in the classroom as teacher aides, on governing boards making decisions about the program, and as bus drivers and cooks.

Head Start promoted community collaboration. Interest and support from the local community helped Head Start respond to the needs of the children and families it served.
