Headstart is a government funded program that is losing more and more funds each year. They provide services to families that can't afford the services of a private preschool. This is such a great program, it puts our children to a greater advantage for learning, and it helps to be sure that they have a more prosperous life through an early education. They also provide speech and occupations services as well as a variety of resources for children with special needs due to developmental probelms etc. My son is a student through Headstart, and they have done miracles with him. He is so intelligent and is going to be ahead of the class. You may not use these services, but someday a grandchild, daughter/son, sibling, cousin etc may need them. They can always use toys, crafty things, books, dress up clothes, any sort of learning material that may be age appropriate. Headstart is a national program and can be found in the phone book. Please help this wonderful cause.

Headstart only hurts our children, the longer our children are in our public education system the worse off they are. Studies have proven that while our younger children either beat or can compete with other countries, the older they get the worse they get comparably. Also it showed that those who started in earlier were worse off than those who began being indoctrinated at a later age.
Our education system is a joke and any time a child can be saved from being subjected to it only makes it that much better for that child and actually gives them a better shot at making it in the world.
