Head Start Coordination
Through Head Start state appropriated funds, the State
Head Start Coordination Project was created and contracted to the Oklahoma Association
of Community Action Agencies by the Oklahoma Department of Commerce to serve as a
state point of contact and to coordinate Head Start activities throughout the state.
Recent activities included sponsorship of technical assistance teams for each
agency scheduled for federal review in the coming year. The Association brings
together teams of experts in the areas of financial management, health care,
mental health, disabilities, education and curriculum, program design and
management. These teams work with local agencies to prepare them for upcoming federal
program reviews.

Head Start Collaboration
The mission of the Oklahoma Head Start State Collaboration
Office is to create a visible Head Start presence at the state
level, enhance the capacity of Head Start and other early
childhood programs, and improve outcomes and opportunities for
young children and their families through Head Start partnership
and collaboration in state initiatives.
The goals, objectives, activities, and results of the project
are designed to focus on the development of specific linkages in
the Project’s eight priority areas: Childcare and preschool,
health care, welfare, education, community service activities,
family literacy services, activities relating to children with
disabilities, and services for homeless children.
The project also includes activities intended to address the
Office of Head Start priorities: Coordination of childcare, Head
Start, and pre-K programs at the state and local level;
professional development, particularly articulation issues and
providing college credit for Head Start training; health care,
specifically oral health, obesity, and medical home; welfare/TANF,
particularly to ensure that eligible families understand the use
of vouchers to secure available wrap around childcare services;
community services – full utilization of community services upon
transition from Head Start.
