Early
Head Start
In 1998, the Kansas Legislature approved a state Early Head Start initiative as a joint endeavor with the federal government. Early intervention through high-quality programs enhances children’s development during their formative years, enables parents to be better caretakers and teachers to their children, and helps parents meet their own goals, including economic independence. Comprehensive services provided to program participants include mental and physical health, nutrition, social services, parental involvement, services for children with disabilities, and child care. There are 13 early childhood development programs across the state, designed to serve 825 children, from birth to age four.
