Welcome to SKCDC
On August 31, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson stood in the White House Rose Garden and announced the extension of Head Start.
What started as a summer pilot — one that enrolled more than 561,000 children in its first year — was expanded into year-round centers for children aged 3 and older, with continued summer programming and follow-through services like home visits and field trips for families.
Sixty-one years later, that commitment is still being honored by the hundreds of thousands of Head Start staff who show up every day for children and families across the country.
Check out stories from people across the Head Start community whose lives have been touched by the program, from 1965 to the present: viewer.mapme.com/661a3205-6e05-41e7-a6a9-5c505969c3be

Room 4 has been hard at work in the garden this summer! 🌽
The kids planted their own corn, watched it grow, and got to pick it right off the stalk when it was ready. From there, they learned all about the parts of the corn plant, the husk, the silk, the ear, and the kernels, before diving into a hands on activity cutting the kernels off the cob to get it ready for the table.
It's such a great way for kids to see where their food really comes from, and they had so much fun doing it!
