Head Start for America’s Children Act

Summary

The bill revises the federal Head Start law to broaden its scope to infants, toddlers, and children, and to explicitly address mental‑health services. It also updates a range of definitions—such as those for English‑language development, Native American and Native Hawaiian agencies, and various types of restraints—to better reflect current practice. These changes aim to make Head Start programs more inclusive and culturally responsive.
