Recent studies of Head Start have focused more on child outcomes, such as cognitive gains, social development, and socioeconomic development. However, there continues to be a problem understanding the extent of how Head Start, one of the U.S. government's largest social experiments, helps families. This study investigates the mothers' experiences and perceptions of Head Start and how they influenced these mothers to move toward self-sufficiency. |
