Head Start Collaboration Offices (HSCO) play a pivotal role in enhancing coordination among Head Start grant recipients, state systems, and other local early childhood agencies to improve outcomes for children and families across the country. HSCOs are the voice of the Office of Head Start (OHS) in state agencies. Since their inception in 1990, HSCOs have been responsible for building strong partnerships between Head Start programs and various state-level entities, including child care, health, welfare, education, and other community services.
