The Ohio Head Start Association, Inc. (OHSAI) is the membership organization for Head Start programs in the state. In fulfillment of our mission, we offer support for professional development through training and technical assistance for Head Start administrators, staff and parents. These efforts include offering high quality training in all areas of Head Start program operations and in areas of personal and professional growth for staff and parents as well. We support the importance of the need for world class leadership in our Head Start programs and to this end provide extensive leadership training opportunities for Head Start program managers and staff.   We advocate for the Head Start program whenever and wherever we can, thus we advance the concepts of child development, good parenting skills, the social, physical and emotional well being of Head Start families, and we support the philosophies contained in the Head Start mandate.
