Kids on Campus Initiative Shows Strong Progress in Connecting Head Start and Community Colleges

A national partnership between the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) and the National Head Start Association (NHSA) is creating powerful educational opportunities for both young children and their parents through the innovative "Kids on Campus" initiative.

The recently released Year One Annual Report details how the five-year project aims to establish at least 50 Head Start childcare centers on community college campuses by 2030, addressing two critical challenges simultaneously: the need for high-quality early childhood education and the barriers that prevent many student parents from completing their degrees.
