The Mississippi Head Start Association’s (MHSA) mission is to provide the state’s children and families with a range of individualized services in the areas of education, early childhood development, medical, dental, mental health, nutrition and parent involvement. MHSA embraces a set of core values which promotes wellness, respects families’ cultures and diversity, and supports family empowerment and community development. Head Start programs are designed to build on the strengths of families and communities. HELP! How do I enroll my child in Head Start or Early Head Start?
