Head Start programs in Hawaii share the national commitment of ensuring all keiki (children) have the ‘Head Start’ in life they deserve! For example, last year children in HCAP’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs learned about environmental preservation through Dr. Seuss’s "The Lorax," explored the arts, practiced teamwork, and enhanced their hand-eye coordination and motor skills with activities like building with blocks, playing with Legos, solving puzzles, and using writing utensils. Mahalo to the dedicated educators, parents, staff, and volunteers who make Head Start in the Aloha State so impactful!

Far too few #WIC eligible individuals and families participate in the program. Innovative outreach strategies and program modernization efforts can help bridge that gap and reduce disparities in program delivery. Apply for a #WIC Community Innovation and Outreach subgrant from FRAC, UnidosUS, the Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative and the Center for Nutrition and Health Impact. This project is supported by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. Apply for a subgrant by Friday, September 6. Learn more. https://lnkd.in/ekk_ZpuU

Happy 4th of July! We celebrate this country's national commitment to providing all children the foundation they need to thrive both inside the classroom and in the wider world. This starts with the Head Start teachers and administrators for the 800,000 families Head Start serves and the parents and caregivers who are important partners in the success of the Head Start "whole child" early childhood education approach. And of course it includes the children who inspire our work every day!
