Operation Head Start

Operation Head Start, commonly known simply as Head Start, is a program initiated in the United States in 1965 as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's "War on Poverty." Its primary aim is to promote school readiness for children from low-income families by providing them with educational, health, nutritional, and social services. The program focuses on children aged birth to five years, offering a comprehensive approach that includes early childhood education, health screenings, nutrition assistance, and parental involvement.
