The Department of Family Planning Division, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, has been awarded a $79,499,713 Head Start Project Grant (CFDA 93.600) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. This five-year grant, effective July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2029, provides comprehensive early childhood education and family support services to low-income pregnant women, infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children in Puerto Rico.
The Head Start program aims to promote school readiness by enhancing the cognitive, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional development of children from disadvantaged backgrounds prior to kindergarten entry. This is achieved through the provision of educational, health, nutritional, and social services. The Department of Family Planning Division, as the local government agency overseeing the grant, will deliver these critical early childhood programs and resources to the target population across Puerto Rico.
