Editorial Reviews
Review
Project Head Start captures the 'soul' of Head Start as never before told; credits the program for its many contributions to the broad field of early childhood education as no other writing has done; and lastly it challenges the country to build upon and expand this wonderfully successful program.
–Sarah M. Greene, Chief Executive Officer, National Head Start Association
Using professional wisdom and real-life examples, Washington's analysis stands as a tribute to the children, families, and employees of Head Start and an inspiration for all of us to work to make this great program better.
–Edward Zigler, Sterling Professor of Psychology and Director, Rush Center in Child Development and Social Policy at Yale University
Well-written, with a clear outline, the book not only provides useful and timely information but focuses on the appropriate issues. An excellent annotated bibliography supplements the text. All levels.
–Choice
Makes interesting and important reading....a good reference text, a fine acquisition for one's professional library, and could be used as a supplement for courses in Sociology of Education, History of Education, and for a course in Early Intervention.
