Protect Head Start - Families

Your stories — whether as a Head Start provider, teacher, or parent/caregiver — are critical to protecting Head Start. We’ll share your experiences with Georgia's Congressional Delegation and our networks to strengthen our advocacy efforts as we work to improve outcomes for young children and families in our state.

This platform makes it easy for you to record your story via video or audio (your choice). The platform will ask you four quick questions that you will respond to separately. The questions are:

1) Introduce yourself.

2) What do you think is unique and special about Head Start?

3) Can you share a story about a time that your child's teacher made a positive impact on your little one and/or your family? 

4) The NPRM has proposed a number of changes, including: shortening the school day to three hours, eliminating Head Start families’ access to healthcare and other wrap-around services., increasing teacher/student ratios, meaning teachers would have more students to care for, eliminating practices like brushing children’s teeth after meals, and no longer providing free diapers.

Which of these changes would most affect your child and family? Which of these Head Start practices in most meaningful to you?

5) Do you feel your access to Head Start has improved your child/family’s well-being? Can you share a “Before Head Start/After Head Start” story?

You respond by recording short (max 1-2 minutes per question) video or audio clips directly from this device. This will take about 10 minutes to complete. You can't skip any questions but feel free to keep it short! You can share as much or as little as they wish. If you don't like your response, you can re-record as many times as you would like. After clicking "submit," you'll be taken to a separate page to complete a consent form.
