Summary
The bill amends the Head Start Act to broaden the program's purpose to include infants and toddlers and mental health, and revises definitions related to full-year service hours (minimum 1,380 hours for center-based services), Native American and Native Hawaiian programs, English language development, assistive technology, and restraint and seclusion practices. It adds a new authorization section setting fiscal year 2026 appropriations of about $144.9 billion, increased annually by an inflation adjustment, plus separate multi-year authorizations for facilities, transportation, workforce grants, partnerships, extended operating hours, and child care partnerships.
