Th e success of Head Start led to t

Th e success of Head Start led to the creation of three
specifi c programs that furthered the goals of Head Start:
Parent & Child Centers, which serve infants and toddlers
and their families; the Child and Family Resource Programs,
which provide family support services; and the Child
Development Associate credential, which provides early
childhood training and education for Head Start teachers.
It should be noted that, at the beginning, one aim of
Head Start was to change the language and behavior
patterns of the low-income children served, many of
whom came from minority groups, and to resocialize
them into cultural patterns and values of the mainstream,
middle class. Head Start was a “compensatory”
program, and the implications were that children from
poor or minority families were unprepared for the demands
of school in terms of language and cognitive
skills, achievement, and motivation. Th is widely held
perspective of the 1960s was known as the “cultural disadvantage”
model, which suggests that any language,
cognitive, or relational style that diff ers from the Anglo,
mainstream, middle-class style is necessarily detrimental
to rather than supportive of the educational process.
Contrast this view with the more recent, pluralistic
perspective, called the “cultural diff erence” model, which
affi rms that no one way of “behaving and believing” should
be required for successful participation in school or society.
