“This continued grant funding for Head Start projects will allow Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc. to continue providing children with the foundation of skills needed to prepare them for future educational success,” Johnson said in a press release

The Head Start of Greater Dallas serves low-income children in preschool, infants and toddlers throughout Dallas County. There are 44 Head Start and Early Head Start centers throughout the county, with approximately 2,500 students receiving skills and knowledge.
