About This Program
Head Start is a nationwide comprehensive child development program serving pregnant women, eligible children from birth to five years old, and their families. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the Office of Head Start (OHS), provides grants to local public, private non-profit, and for-profit agencies to offer Head Start and Early Head Start services to economically disadvantaged families. The Head Start Act mandates that a portion of these funds be dedicated to Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) activities, which are aimed at enhancing the capacity of local programs to address priority areas, including school readiness, staff training and development, and addressing any issues identified through federal monitoring.
The TTA system plays a crucial role in supporting program staff to deliver high-quality services that promote school readiness for children and strengthen their families. By providing structured, intentional, and high-quality support, the TTA system enhances the knowledge, skills, and practices of grant recipient staff, enabling them to implement programs that improve outcomes for children and families.
