The Trump administration moved Thursday to start overhauling the Head Start program, which provides free early-childhood education and parent-support services to low-income children. “If we get this proposed rule right, we will grow the number of Head Start slots.” Head Start enrolls nearly 716,000 children, from birth to age 5, from low-income families. “President Trump has all but declared war on Head Start and affordable child care in America,” Murray, a former teacher, said in a Thursday statement. “After Congress and the nation forcefully rejected Trump’s efforts to destroy Head Start, this administration now wants to quietly gut Head Start by eliminating the basic health and safety standards our kids rely on — well, I refuse to stay silent about this travesty.”
