Head Start plays a critical role in helping families secure the American Dream. Through supporting the healthy development of children and ensuring they are set up to be successful in kindergarten and beyond, Head Start lowers childcare costs for parents and guardians. This helps parents get into the workforce and secure opportunities that otherwise may be unattainable without reliable, affordable childcare. #MoneyMonday
