Continue working to protect Head Start and ensure Minnesota children and families have the support they need to thrive.

“Head Start does so much more than provide early childhood education. It helps make sure children are healthy, cared for, and thriving while giving parents the reliable child care they need to work and support their families,” said Congresswoman Kelly Morrison. “As an OB-GYN and a mom of three, I know how important these early years are for a child’s health and development. I’m grateful to the incredible staff at PICA for sharing directly with me what they are seeing and what they need from leaders in Washington. I will continue working to protect Head Start and make sure Minnesota children and families have the support they need to thrive.”

Morrison promised to continue working to protect Head Start and support Minnesota children and families amid proposed federal changes to the program.
