The increasing diversity in our society is impossible to ignore. This increase naturally brings in more diversity in our early childhood centers across the nation. Working with families from many different backgrounds is not new to Head Start Centers. However there is a continual struggle for programs to tailor their policies and practices to the individual needs of the families that they serve. Parents of children that speak languages other than English in a Head Start program may feel less supported about their home culture compared to those parents that speak predominantly English. The revised version of the Multicultural Principles is one tool that can help guide programs to implement multicultural principles and monitor how well they are individualizing their program to the families they serve. These principles however, are only helpful if families and teachers believe in them and make efforts to ensure that they are being actualized through daily practice.

This book offers critical perspectives on the complex dynamics of politics, class, gender, power, race, and ethnicity in Project Head Start, past and present. Moving beyond the literature on Head Start's effects on children's achievement, this volume considers how the program has operated—sometimes effectively and comfortably, sometimes not—with families, in communities, and with other institutions. Contributors address historical background, parent involvement and governance, cultural diversity, and relationships with other institutions. The research reported is rich with the voices of parents, community members, and staff, and is complemented by first-person chapters written by participants themselves. Head Start's appeal and its reputation for success are both championed and critically questioned in this book, with an eye toward where Head Start might be going, where it should be going, and how we can better understand poverty, social programs, and education.
