The National Head Start Association is a nonprofit organization that believes every child has a chance in life. “NHSA mission is to coalesce, inspire and support the Head Start field as a leader in early childhood development and educated” (National Head Start Association). Head Start helps the families as a whole. When the families are helped it helps our community. The association has protected the most vulnerable children. It encourages parents to be more involved and engaged in their child’s life, education and the community as well. NHSA guides , accept and encourage families in their daily struggles. Families are helped to find services and jobs while their children is in a safe learning environment.

In 2002 to strengthen and keep families together NHSA came up with the National Native American Heritage Month. “The goal is to keep families together by connecting parents to their cultural heritage and traditions, connecting with past generations in order to bring purpose and direction to future generations” (National Head Start Association). In November 2017 the NHSA held a night were families sang songs, dance had certain animals and children were allowed to do art about their culture. This keeps families in contact with their heritage and culture.
