Recognizing the Role of Fathers at Home, School

LCCAA Head Start recognizes both the unique challenges fathers face and their critical contribution to the health of their families.

Approximately 18.3 million children in America live in homes without their biological fathers.

A child raised in a father absent home will be affected in many ways. LCCAA Head Start has recognized this trend and put in place initiatives.

We work each year to develop a plan to support fathers. This includes:

Father-focused activities

Dad talks
