The United Planning Organization is a major Head Start grantee in the Nation's Capital. In fact, UPO was a testing ground for Head Start in the early 1960s, at the on-set of what would ultimately become the community action agency movement. Today, the United Planning Organization enrolls children at Head Start and day care sites throughout the District of Columbia in facilities either operated directly by UPO or by UPO funded Head Start delegate agencies. UPO directly operates seven child care centers and provides funding to six Head Start delegate agencies.
UPO Head Start is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's Administration for Children Youth and Families, while other day care services receive funding from the D.C. Department of Human Services. Head Start not only provides excellent education for children from lower income families, but also allows parents to train for or work at meaningful and gainful employment. These centers provide services to more than 2000 children citywide.
UPO is a member of the National Head Start and Region III Head Start Associations.
William D. Hughey is director of UPO's Office of Preschool and Day Care:
