Sara Allsman sons Peyton (4 1/2yrs old)-SPD and Jayce (3yrs old)-SPD,ADHD, have Moderate to Severe Autism.
My boys LOVE their Bluebees Pal, Hudson the Puppy! It has helped my oldest son Peyton (Sensory Processing Disorder and Speech Delay) get ready for Headstart! This is the BEST gift anyone could give a child!
Head Start promotes the school readiness of young children from low-income families through agencies in their local community. The Head Start program is authorized by the Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act of 2007. Head Start and Early Head Start programs support the mental, social, and emotional development of children from birth to age 5. In addition to education services, programs provide children and their families with health, nutrition, social, and other services. Head Start services are responsive to each child and family’s ethnic, cultural, and linguistic heritage.
The Office of Head Start (OHS) defines school readiness as children being ready for school, families ready to support their children’s learning, and schools ready for the children who enter their doors.
Children’s school readiness is measured by the skills set out in the five domains of the Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework:
Language and Literacy
Cognition and General Knowledge
Approaches to Learning
Physical Development and Health
Social and Emotional Development
Families are engaged in their children’s learning and development and are poised to support the lifelong success of their child. Head Start recognizes that parents are their children’s primary teachers and advocates.
