Area of Science:

  • Early childhood education
  • Public health
  • Workplace wellness

Background:

  • Head Start (HS) is a major US federally funded early childhood education program.
  • Recent 2024 updates to HS Program Performance Standards emphasize enhanced support and workforce stability, including health and wellness.
  • Educators' well-being is crucial for program success and school readiness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the availability, participation, satisfaction, and interest in Workplace Wellness Programs (WWPs) among Head Start educators.
  • To identify factors associated with WWP participation in this population.

Main Methods:

  • An electronic survey was distributed to approximately 74,000 HS grantees and educators.
  • 2,611 complete surveys were analyzed using descriptive and multivariate regression analyses.

Main Results:

  • 71% of HS educators had access to at least one WWP, most commonly health education (51%) and stress management (25%).
  • Participation rates varied widely (6%-93%), and interest in unavailable programs was high (40%-93%).
  • Job dissatisfaction and receipt of community food assistance were associated with lower WWP participation.

Conclusions:

  • Significant variability exists in WWP availability, participation, and interest among HS educators.
  • Further research is needed to explore the translation of interest into program uptake and to identify strategies for reducing barriers and increasing participation.
