Father Engagement

Father and male caregiver engagement is a vital and integrated aspect of parent, family, and community work. Head Start programs partner with fathers and male caregivers to:

• Promote positive outcomes for their children, families, and themselves
• Help them develop their skills and interests and achieve goals for themselves and their families
• Support them as advocates, lifelong educators, and first teachers of their children.
