Question

does any1 know what head starts parent involvement program is?

Answer 1

I don't work for head start but my child goes to head start. you are required to spend so much time working on home work and in class time with your child . Parent involvement is critical to the development of young children as well as the head start program.

The main responsibilities for head start parents include:

• Attending Parent Orientation, held in August without preschoolers, where you’ll have a chance to meet

the staff and learn what to expect for the coming year. Class lists will be distributed at this time.

• Working a minimum of once a month in the classroom.

• Attending parent and family activities.

• Being available for two home visits and two parent/teacher conferences. (The first home visit will be

arranged at Parent Orientation, and will occur in early September. This gives the new student a chance

to meet their teacher before school begins, and for you to ask any questions and take care of any last

paperwork.)
