We value parents in our program and encourage involvement in all areas. Learn how you can get involved - "Being on Policy Council has been a wonderful experience for me. I knew Head Start was an excellent program, preparing young children for greater chances of success in their futures. But I didn't realize how Head Start also empowers and develops the whole family. I continue to be inspired by the commitment of young parents like yourselves, by the time and energy you give to create a better life for your children." Alan Rose, Community Relations Director, Lower Columbia CAP.

Focus on Literacy
