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.
February is Children's Dental Health Month!
Did you know that and estimated 51 million school hours per year are
lost due to dental-related illness? Poor oral health has been linked
to decreased school performance, poor social relationships, and less
success later in life. Head Start and Early Head Start provide dental screenings for every child and strive to provide learning experiences necessary to succeed in school.
KHSA Recognizes Head Start Staff and Parents
On Thursday, January 14, KHSA recognized Kansas and Region VII award winners at the APM meeting. Winners joined member program representatives for a banquet lunch and awards ceremony. Seven awards were presented.
