The Green Hills Head Start Program, sponsored by North Central Missouri College of Trenton, serves 277 children and families in the Green Hills area.
The Green Hills Head Start Program believes that the gains made by the child in Head Start must be understood and built upon by the family and the community.
To achieve this Goal., Head Start provides for the involvement of the child’s parents and other members of the family by giving them many opportunities for a richer appreciation of their young child’s needs and how to satisfy them.
Many of the benefits of Head Start are rooted in “change.” These changes must take place in the family itself, in the community, and in the attitudes of people and institutions that have an impact on both.
It is clear that the success of Head Start in bringing about substantial changes demands the fullest involvement of the parents, parental-substitutes, and families of children enrolled in its programs.
Successful parental involvement enters into every part of Head Start, influences other anti-poverty programs, helps bring about changes in institutions in the community, and works toward altering the social conditions that have formed the systems that surround the economically disadvantaged child and the family.
