Wisconsin Head Start Association (WHSA)

The Wisconsin Head Start Association (WHSA) is a school located at 5250 East Terrace Drive in Madison, Wisconsin, United States. With a focus on serving children aged 3-5 years old living in extreme poverty, WHSA is proud to currently serve 29% of these kids in Wisconsin. The institution provides educational experiences that have been proven to help children succeed in school and throughout their lives, with Head Start babies more likely to graduate from high school, attend college, and break free from the cycle of poverty. WHSA offers scholarships for Head Start/Early Head Start parents and staff, and hosts an annual conference focused on caring, compassion, and commitment. With a strong governance system in place, WHSA emphasizes compliance, continuous improvement, and innovation. The institution also collaborates with the Head Start Associations of Wisconsin & Minnesota to host special events and Communities of Practice for individuals with similar roles. Testimonials from past participants highlight the positive impact of WHSA on individuals and the community.
