We believe that all children can reach their full potential if they and their families have access to the right opportunities and resources. As the largest child care provider in the San Francisco Bay Area, we provide thousands of children, especially those from low-income families, with safe, healthy, nurturing environments and relationships. Through our policy work, we aim to take our expertise beyond the children and families that we serve, and drive change in early childhood education at the local, state and federal levels. Our goal is to make sure all children have the social, emotional, and academic skills they need to learn, grow and realize their potential./p/divpstrongAbout The Role/strong/p pspan style="font-size: 10pt;"Head Start and Early Head Start are comprehensive federally funded school readiness and family support programs for low-income and special needs children that promote parents/guardians as the primary educator of the child./span/p pstrong id="docs-internal-guid-ae02bf08-7fff-1c29-8c87-0eba2cd3b77f"What You’ll Be Doingnbsp;/strong/p ul li style="font-weight: 400;
