HHS wants to remove Head Start's full-day preschool requirement.

The current rule requires at least 45% of a program's center-based Head Start Preschool funded enrollment to receive 1,020 annual hours of class (roughly a school-day schedule).

If the proposal goes through, programs could offer as little as 3 hours of class a day.

Ask HHS to withdraw the proposal! Learn more and submit your public comment today: https://bit.ly/CommentNPRM

From Head Start kid sister to Early Head Start leader — Sheyla's story is a beautiful reminder of how one program can shape generations. 💛
Her mom found her voice as a Policy Council Parent, and that spark of empowerment planted a passion in Sheyla that grew into a lifelong career supporting young children and families.

Today, Sheyla leads with the same compassion once shown to her family — proof that Head Start doesn't just support children, it builds legacies.
