Tell Congress to Strengthen Head Start

Head Start programs across the country are struggling to keep up with inflation, attract and retain qualified staff, and ensure every eligible child has access to comprehensive services. Without stronger investment, these challenges will only grow.

It is vital that members of Congress understand the importance and impact of Head Start and prioritize increased funding for the program.

Help us ensure Congress hears a loud, unified message: It is crucial that Head Start receives robust funding in 2026. Nearly 4,000 children across the Kansas City Metro depend on it.
