Helping Children and Families Start Strong
The Kansas Head Start Association (KHSA) supports all 28 Kansas Head Start programs through advocacy, education and leadership in special projects benefiting young children and families. KHSA is helping to build school-ready children and self-sufficient families. School-ready children are strong in all areas of their lives—academic, physical, social and emotional. And strong, stable families with support systems are essential to their growth.
