Head Start programs exemplify the aim of the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution to "promote the general Welfare." These programs provide early childhood education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income families, helping to ensure that children are prepared for school and have access to essential resources. By supporting the development of young children and their families, Head Start contributes to the overall well-being of communities and society.
