Here’s why Head Start might have a leg up in this year’s Mass. budget debate

The state dedicated about $9.6 million to the program in 2019, compared to $17.5 million this year, the state Senate's top budget-writer said.

Replying to @MassEarlyEdCare
The EEC team, @massheadstart and @MAYMCAS also volunteered - helping to sort donated clothes that will go to kids birth through age 12 so they have the essential items they need to thrive at home, at school and at play. Thank you for your partnership, @c2cboston!

Absent new federal funds, Massachusetts Head Start programs cannot pay teachers what they deserve and keep the lights on in all classrooms. Thank you to @WBUR for highlighting the work Head Start does and our call for Congress to #FulfillThePromise. wbur.org/news/2023/11/09/mas…

Without enough teachers, Head Start programs in Mass. 'resize' and close classrooms

Recent staffing shortages at Head Start programs have forced centers across Massachusetts to cut slots for children, placing infants and toddlers on lengthy waitlists.
