Today, May 18, we celebrate 61 years of Head Start and the more than 40 million children and families it has served.

As we approach the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, Head Start reminds us what it means to invest in opportunity, strengthen communities, and support the next generation. It remains one of our country’s most enduring commitments to children and families.

Fresh air, smiling faces, and berry sweet memories! 🍓☀️

Our Early Head Start families had a wonderful time visiting the Ahtanum Berry Patch, enjoying a day filled with exploration, connection, and hands-on fun.

A heartfelt thank you to this amazing local small business for welcoming our families again and helping create meaningful experiences for children and parents alike. We’re grateful for the support in helping make days like these so special. ❤️
