The overall goal of Head Start is to develop greater social competence in children. “Social competence” is a child’s everyday effectiveness at handling both the present environment and later responsibilities – in school and in life. Social competence takes into account how related cognitive and intellectual development are, as well as physical and mental health, nutritional needs, and other factors.
