Head Start Parent Handbook - Parents are the most important influence on a child’s development. Because of this, Head Start is based on a partnership between parents/guardians and Head Start Program Staff. Participation in parent-child projects and/or activities support class lesson plans and activities. Parent involvement is also highly encouraged in the operations of Head Start through participation in Center Level Parent Groups and/or the Guam Head Start Policy Council. Your involvement is essential to the success of the Program and most especially, to your child’s development. This Parent Handbook provides information on services and supports available through Head Start.
