Adams Brown Head Start

Back-to-school season means checklists everywhere — pencils, folders, new backpack. Add one more item to that list: back seat. Kids under 13 are safest riding in the back, buckled correctly in the seat that fits their age and size. Take a minute this week to double-check everyone's ride is set up right before the first bell rings.

Local leaders know their communities best. The Head Start Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposes eliminating federal staffing ratios in favor of state licensing standards and reducing required program hours and days.

NHSA supports giving programs room to run in ways that make sense locally, but flexibility should create more ways to deliver for children, not quietly reduce what children receive. If Washington offers programs more options and funds them, that's flexibility. If Washington has already decided where programs must spend less, the decision is no longer entirely local.

Fewer hours, more staff turnover, or less experienced staff may save money on one line of a budget, but those savings can show up as costs elsewhere, for programs, families, and children.

Behind every Head Start program is a staff member who chose this work because they believe in children.

The teacher who greets each child by name every morning. The family worker who helps a mom find housing so her family can stay together. The bus driver who makes sure a four-year-old gets to school safe. The cook who plates a hot breakfast for a kid who might not have eaten otherwise. They are the reason Head Start works.

People this dedicated deserve to be paid like the professionals they are. A competitive salary is what lets a program keep the skilled, caring staff that children and families count on year after year. That takes strong federal investment.

While we welcome the recently approved funding increase, it won't keep pace with rising costs and give programs the stability they need to serve the children and families in their communities.

You can help! Email your Members of Congress and urge them to support increased funding for Head Start in Fiscal Year 2027. It only takes a minute: https://nhsa.org/take-action/
