Have you ever wondered why the Head Start logo looks the way it does? Although it's a simple design, a lot of thought went into what the logo signifies. According to National Head Start, the two squares suggest building blocks and represent early childhood. The arrangement of the blocks represent stairs by which this can be accomplished.
The vertical strips represent the child and parent, while the arrow pointing upward represents the direction out of poverty and on to the future.
Finally, the colors red, white and blue represent the United States and the many opportunities it provides for its citizens.
The beauty of Head Start Awareness Week is it gives us all a chance to reflect on Head Start's important mission -- a mission that's encapsulated in such a simple image.
