Headstart is a United States Department of Health and Human Services program that focuses on giving complete education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families. The Head Start program initially started out as a component of the late President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War On Poverty program in 1965.

The Head Start program continues to serve and cover the educational and health needs of children in the United States. Since 2005, over 22 million pre-school aged children have been provided with quality education and other benefits through the Head Start education project. Other milestones achieved by the Head Start education project include the construction, operation, and maintenance of over 48,000 classrooms in all states (nearly in every county).
