Head Start Awareness Month is an annual observance in the United States held in October. It's a time dedicated to raising awareness about the Head Start program and its positive impact on young children's and their families' lives. Head Start is a federal program that provides comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and family support services to low-income children and their families.

During Head Start Awareness Month, Head Start centers, advocacy groups, and government agencies organize various events, activities, and initiatives to highlight the importance of early childhood education, share success stories, and promote the program's benefits. The goal is to ensure that more families are aware of and can access the resources and services offered by Head Start to support their children's development and school readiness.
