Head Start is a program serving children ages birth-five that promotes school readiness by providing educational, health, nutrition, social and other services to enrolled children and families.
The Head Start-State Collaboration Office (HSSCO) at DEL helps develop partnerships that benefit low-income families and children in healthy family development. The office coordinates federal, state and local policy to help ensure a unified early care and education system. HSSCO works to coordinate activities with the governor's office, key state agencies, and early childhood agencies, associations and advocacy groups.
Head Start-State Collaboration Offices play an important role in their states in helping improve the lives of young children.
