Aboriginal Head Start is a preschool program for Aboriginal children. Health Canada funds delivery of the Program to children living on reserve, while children living in urban and northern centres are supported by the Public Health Agency of Canada.
The Program provides what the name suggests - "a head start" for children in learning and school readiness, with important language and culture components included.
Greg Smith and Jennifer David will be working with Mary Francis MacLellan-Wright from the Public Health Agency of Canada on an evaluation of the Aboriginal Head Start Urban and Northern Communities (AHSUNC) program. While much of the evaluation will be done in-house by government staff, Stonecircle has been asked to provide strategic advice, to support the development of a methodology and research tools, to provide advice on cultural competency and and to ensure cultural research protocols are followed.
