E Komo Mai! Aloha Friends and Partners, Mahalo for taking time to visit our website! The Head Start Association of Hawai`i and Outer Pacific (HSAH-OP) is a dedicated group of Early Head Start and Head Start program directors, staff, community partners, and parents. The focus of this group is to promote a coordinated effort to maximize resources for children birth to five, and their families.
Head Start is an innovative early childhood program designed to strengthen families through engagement and relationship building. Head Start promotes locally designed staff and leadership development opportunities, advocacy on behalf of children and families, and community focused events. We celebrate parents as their child's first teacher and regard families as partners in supporting children to reach their fullest potential.
As you navigate through this website, you will find a variety of information designed for community partners, friends, and parents. You are encouraged to check specific websites including the Early Childhood Knowledge and Learning Center (ECKLC) and the National Head Start Association (NHSA) to learn more about Head Start services and advocacy. For more information about local programs, please use the "Contact Us" link provided.
Mahalo for being a voice for children and families,
Debbi Amaral
