Head Start Bilingual Glossary

The Head Start Bilingual Glossary is a list of common terms used in Head Start. The Glossary was created to promote accurate and consistent translations from English to Spanish. Since the Spanish language is very rich and diverse, it is always a challenge to find neutral terms that most Spanish speakers in the United States will understand; therefore, in some cases, multiple translations are provided to accommodate regional differences in usage.
