Community Action provides developmental care for young children. 

Krissy Conklen with Community Action explains that many people think the Head Start Program is a daycare; however, that is not the case. While there are some similarities, she says the biggest difference is the curriculum and schedule. 

Because of the program's affiliation with Community Action, Conklen states that Head Start also supports the families of the children they care for. This could be things from seeking financial stability to fighting addiction. 

Before sending your kids to Head Start, you must qualify for the program. Conklen indicates that the main focus of Head Start and Community Action is to support low-income families. 

Conklen says that children in the Head Start Program do not just learn about the academics that will prepare them for school, but also the social and emotional learning aspects.
