New Head Start Performance Standards
Welcome to the Connecticut Head Start Association (CTHSA) and our new website! We have created this website in order for families, staff , policy makers and the general public to lean more about our Head Start/Early Head Start (HS/EHS) programs. The CTHSA is committed to continue the support and development of HS/EHS programs as leaders in the field of early childhood education. We are dedicated to serving Connecticut's most vulnerable children and their families and currently have close over 7,500 enrolled in our programs throughout the state. Our program goal is to foster healthy child growth and development of the whole child ,as well as to encourage parental engagement in their chid's educational process and their own personal growth . To help us accomplish our goal, we offer a wide range of comprehensive services and resources available to children, their families, staff and administration. Please take some time to experience our website and all the state and national information and resources that we have included . We are excited to be a part of Connecticut's early childhood system and promoting the success of Connecticut 's youngest children !
