The National Head Start Association is a private not-for-profit membership organization dedicated exclusively to meeting the needs of Head Start children and their families (National Head Start Association, 2006).
Parents and Head Start staff can go to www.education.com and they can download many articles that can help parents with their children from the first day of school to transition. This website give parent an array of information that will help them be successful in kindergarten.
The website also offers a form to fill out for all head start alumni. The website also offers the Disaster Relief Fund which is a permanent assistance program, which was to assist the head start community during the September 11 attack. The fund is now used to assist head start and early head start programs staff, and families who become victims of natural disasters. The website offers professional development and training that support the understanding and implementation of the Head Start Performance Standards and Head Start Core Values that is important in the field of early care and education.
I really enjoy reading the website because each time I go to the site there is a ton of articles and information concerning upcoming training that allow you opportunity for growth in the field.
