Reviews

"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." -- Research and Reflection: A Journal of Educational Praxis
