Working closely with local communities to identify and meet specific needs, Arizona Head Start promotes healthy, stable families and engages parents as equal partners in their child's education. The network of organizations that administer Head Start in Arizona include Tribal governments, local municipalities, non-profit agencies, and school districts. Federal funds are granted to these community-based programs through the Office of Head Start under the Administration for Children and Families within the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
