Who We Are and What We Do

Our Mission: Pennsylvania Head Start Association improves the future for children, families, and communities who are economically challenged.

Our Vision: The Pennsylvania Head Start Association advocates for children and families who are economically challenged to ensure all children reach their full potential. As a responsive, collaborative, and thriving organization, we embrace diversity, promote comprehensive services, and unify the early childhood community by leading the charge for professional development, information sharing, and advocacy.

The Pennsylvania Head Start Association is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, a non-partisan association serving as a voice for Pennsylvania's most vulnerable children and families.

 Language Justice… the path to equitable communities.

The Association hosted a webinar presented by our Associate Partner, Communications Essentials LLC. It was a great session that helped us understand the importance of Language Justice and how we can create steps for inclusive services.

Language Justice necessitates a long-term commitment from us as a community. Language Justice advocates for establishing all-encompassing spaces where all humans are regarded equally and people of all cultural backgrounds and languages can fully participate in shaping the community's future. Language Justice is a civil rights matter. It allows for meaningful access to community resources. It is a path to building a vibrant society by honoring the language and culture of all.
