August is National Children's Eye Health & Safety Month!

Healthy vision plays an important role in how children learn, grow, and explore the world around them. That's why Head Start's comprehensive services include vision screenings and referrals to pediatric eye care when additional care is needed.

Early detection can make all the difference. If you have questions about your child's vision or available eye care services, connect with your local Head Start program.

🚨 TODAY, Thursday, August 13, is National Call‑In Day to make your voice heard for Head Start. Families, staff, and allies across the country are standing together to educate Members of Congress that the newly proposed federal rule would roll back the standards that keep Head Start programs safe, high‑quality, and accessible — including protections for children with disabilities, teacher qualification requirements, and safeguards on class sizes.

Here’s how you can help:
📞 Call your Member of Congress using MomsRising’s call‑in line: https://actionnetwork.org/call_campaigns/tell-congress-to-stop-rfks-attack-on-head-start/
📱 Text HEADSTART to 855‑714‑1332 to be connected.

It takes less than five minutes — and every call counts. Take action and call Congress TODAY.

With the recent release of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Administration for Children and Families - ACF’ proposed rule, “Reducing Federal Burden for Head Start Programs,” the Florida Head Start Association is warning that these changes would strip away the comprehensive standards that have defined Head Start for more than 60 years.

FHSA will be submitting comments on the proposed rule and encourages all stakeholders to do the same.
