🎃 Nothing spooky about standing up for our youngest learners! 🍂💙 We’re all for a little pumpkin patch with a big purpose: protecting Head Start so Pennsylvania’s kids have the strong start they deserve!
Pennsylvania’s Capitol is getting a Pumpkin Patch, and you’re invited! 🎃
On October 21 at 10:00 AM, join us in the Main Rotunda of the Capitol Building in Harrisburg to celebrate more than 60 years of Head Start and to stand up for the standards that make it work. Bring your family, bring your voice, and help us grow support for Pennsylvania’s youngest learners. Can’t make it? Contact your members of Congress and tell them to protect Head Start standards.
Head Start and Early Head Start serve more than 30,000 children in all 67 Pennsylvania counties. A proposed federal rule would increase class sizes by 33%, cut staffing, weaken health and mental health services, and remove protections against suspension and expulsion. Children with disabilities, children experiencing homelessness or trauma, children in foster care, and rural families would be hurt first and worst.
