Compliance
Built for Head Start. Backed by the Standards.
Track it how you need to. Monitor it how you want to. All in one place, all in GoEngage.
GoEngage is the most comprehensive data and compliance platform built specifically for the Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS).
You don’t need a system that can be customized for Head Start. You need a system that was built for it — from day one.
GoEngage is the only all-in-one platform designed to align naturally with every section of the Head Start Program Performance Standards, giving your team the tools to stay compliant, connected, and child-focused — without extra modules, bolt-on systems, or endless workarounds.

“We’ve finally found a system that thinks like we do. Every piece of the Performance Standards is accounted for — and our staff actually wants to use it.”
CARMEN A, HEAD START DIRECTOR
BUILT ON THE HEAD START FUNDAMENTALS
How GoEngage aligns with the Standards
GoEngage is built to support the full scope of the Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS) — not just parts of them. From governance to health tracking, family engagement to education, every feature in our platform is designed to align with the federal standards that define high-quality Head Start services.
We don’t ask programs to work around the system. We designed our system around your work.
