helps to fund Head Start?
Head Start receives funds from the federal government to serve children and families. A requirement of this funding is that we must “match” 20% of the funding with donations of time, supplies, or local funding. So the time you and your child spend at home on the educational activities that enhance your child’s learning, can be counted toward this required match. We call this In Kind (meaning donated time).
Below are In Kind Activity Sheets which we ask you to use to track the time you spend at home on educational activities with your child. Also below are calendar pages of possible In Kind Activities. Your child’s teacher will also supply you with ideas for In Kind Activities.
