Profile
Report
The South Dakota Head Start Association is a 501(c)(3) organization incorporated in 1989 to coordinate and conduct
activities designed to build awareness of Head Start and Head Start services in South Dakota. As the primary support
link between local, regional and national Head Start programs, we advocate for low-income families in South Dakota
with pre-birth to age five children. We work in collaboration with our other stakeholders to meet the needs of lowincome families in South Dakota while achieving outcomes for children in preparation for future success in learning.
Our Association is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of four representatives from each Head Start
Grantee—a Parent, a Staff member, a Director, and a Friend of Head Start. The SDHSA Board of Directors elects a
President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer to serve two-year terms. Current officers are:
President -Jane Leite, Sioux Falls Head Start
Vice President -Rick Thaler, South Central Child Development
Treasurer -Tom Hopper, Northeast SD Head Start;
Past President -Carmen Stewart, USD Head Start
Secretary - Brenda Knouse, Northeast SD Head Start
Our Vision:
To be a positive voice, a powerful advocate and promoter of quality programs
for children, families and communities.
Our Mission:
The South Dakota Head Start Association is a leading voice supporting the work of Head
Start programs and their partners through education, advocacy, training, networking, and

Investment in Early Education
School Readiness
Head Start is the nation’s leading
investment in early childhood
care and education, and promotes school readiness through
the enhancement of social and
cognitive development by providing education, health, nutrition,
social, and family support services. Parents are respected as
the primary educators and nurturers of their children and are
encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s education
and growth.
Head Start and Early Head Start are
comprehensive child development
programs which serve children
from birth to five, pregnant women, and their families.
The dollar investment in Head
Start programs has a high rate of
return. For each dollar invested
in Head Start, there is an economic gain of $7-$10. Some research suggests it could be as
much as $17. This is realized in
reduced expenses of grade retention, special education services,
and a higher earning potential
and economic success in adulthood, thus reducing dollars needed for welfare and the criminal
justice system. The Heckman
study reports the greatest rate of
return through programs targeted toward the earliest years, followed by Preschool programs.
Traditional school programs returned less than half as many dollars, and Job training in postschool years garners the lowest
rate of return.
1) Physical Well-Being and Motor
Development
2) Social and Emotional Development, 3) Approaches to Learning,
4) Cognition and General
Knowledge, 5) Language and Literacy Development
School Readiness is the primary
goal of Head Start Programs –the
capabilities of children, their families, schools, and communities that
best promotes student success in
kindergarten and later grades.
School Readiness consists of five
domains:
The Head Start Act requires monitoring of all Head Start Programs
by the federal Office of Head Start
using “a valid and reliable researchbased observational instrument.”
OHS uses the CLASS observation
tool to assess the quality of teacher
-child interactions in classrooms.
CLASS measures three categories
of these interactions that have
been shown to support children’s
learning and development: Emotional Support, Classroom Organization, and Instructional Support.
Child-Family Outcomes
Head Start has a long tradition of
success in helping at-risk children,
their parents, and the communities
in which they live.
At the heart of Head Start services
is the well-being of children—school
readiness, and making certain that
basic health needs are met and that
social, emotional, and physical
growth continues through life.
Head Start offers opportunities for
parents, supporting our commitment to Parents as Primary Caregivers and Educators. Head Start encourages parents to be involved in
all aspects of the program and their
children’s lives. Programs also support parents through parenting classes, and in setting and realizing education and job goals.
Several research studies state that
dollars invested in Early Childhood
Education have a far greater return
than in education in later years.
The first 1,000 days of a child’s life is
the most potent time to improve
the brain which leads to better academic performance, economic ability, health, and resiliency later in life.
2
The Head Start Child Development and
Early Learning Framework provides
Head Start and other early childhood
programs with a description of the developmental building blocks that are most
important for a child’s school and longterm success. Head Start children, 3 to 5
years old, are expected to progress in all
the areas of child development and early
learning outlined by the Framework.
Head Start programs also are expected
to develop and implement a program
that ensures such progress is made.
Every Head Start provider is required to
track the accomplishments of each child
in the program based on the five domains in the Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework.
Those domains are: Cognitive and General Knowledge, Physical Development
and Health, Social and Emotional Development, Approaches to Learning, and
Language and Literacy.
Families play a critical role in helping
their children to prepare for school and a
lifetime of academic success.
Parent and family engagement in Head
Start and Early Head Start is about building relationships with families that support family well-being; supporting strong
relationships between parents and their
children; and nurturing ongoing learning
and development for both parents and
children.

CLASS—Classroom Assessment
Scoring System
The CLASS scoring system is used throughout the
country and by all Head Start programs to measure the quality of interactions between teachers
and children. The CLASS measures three domains. The highest possible score in all domains
is 7. The three domains measured are:

Emotional Support assesses the degree to which teachers establish and
promote a positive climate in their
classroom through their everyday interactions

Classroom Organization assesses
classroom routines and procedures
related to the organization and management of children's behavior, time,
and attention in the classroom.

Instructional Support assesses the ways
in which teachers implement the curriculum to effectively promote cognitive and
language development.

The SDHSA Profile Report is published annually and focuses on the work and data collected by the Office of Head Start.
Complete information can be accessed at the Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center (ECLKC) website.
http://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/hslc Data used is from the 2013-2014 program year.
This report was prepared by the South Dakota Head Start Association under contract with the South Dakota Head Start
State Collaboration Office through a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for
Children and Families. The Collaboration Office was designed to create a visible Head Start presence at the state level
and to build statewide partnerships with appropriate public and private agencies in order to unite existing programs
that serve children from birth to five years of age and their families into a network of support and collaboration.
