Marin Head Start is a child and family development

program that provides low-income families and their

children with comprehensive health services, education

services and social services. Families are supported as they

make positive changes in their lives that will benefit them now

and in the future.  Head Start has been successful because of

parent involvement. Parents have an opportunity to play a vital role in

the daily life of the program.  Parents attend parent meetings, literacy

classes and volunteer in the classrooms. They are elected to serve on the Policy Council and other important program committees. Marin Head Start is successful because it is built on partnership among parents, staff and the community.
