Client: Vermont Head Start

Length: 30 Seconds

Air Dates: October 5, 2018

Announcer: Vermont Head start is part of a nationwide network of Head Start programs that have served over 32 million families nationwide.

The program started with knocks on doors, and grew into something huge. Head Start serves families who need more support for early childhood learning, nutrition, professional development and more.

Head Start’s impact can be seen in countless individual stories, from a child on the autism spectrum who spoke for the first time after he joined the program to a Head Start graduate embarking on a career in rocket science.

Quality learning and nutrition, methods backed by science, and partnerships with parents make Head Start the best choice to put kids forward on a path to lifelong success.

The program began as a conversation, and has continued through connections – and now we are 32 million connections strong.
