The 5 By 5 Project
The 5 By 5 Project links the Head Start classrooms to the community by providing opportunities for Head Start and Early Head Start children, their families and Head Start staff to attend programs and events at thirteen of Denver's cultural venues. Head Start and Early Head Start staff also receive educational materials that are used to enhance the visits to the cultural venues.
