Aboriginal HeadStart Program
The Aboriginal Head Start Program is a community-based children’s program delivered by the Public Health Agency of Canada. This program focuses on early childhood development for First Nations, Inuit and Métis children and their families living off-reserve. It was established to support the spiritual, emotional, intellectual and physical development of Aboriginal children, while supporting their parents and guardians as their primary teachers. It addresses general health concerns in vulnerable populations and works to benefit the health, well-being and social development of Aboriginal children. The program provides structured half-day preschool experiences for Aboriginal children focused on six program components:
1. aboriginal culture and language,
2. education and school readiness,
3. health promotion,
4. nutrition,
5. social support, and
6. parental involvement.
