Early learning: Children’s readiness for school and beyond is fostered through individualized learning experiences, relationships with adults, and play.

Health: Each child’s perceptual, motor, and physical development is supported to allow them to fully explore and function in their environment. All children receive health and development screenings, nutritious meals, oral health care and education, and mental health support.

Family well-being: Parents and families are supported in achieving their own goals, such as housing stability, continued education, and financial security.

  • Head Start has been my extended family. It takes a village, and it gives me peace of mind having my son there. Developmentally he's way above what I would ever have expected.

    Amanda M. Head Start Parent
  • Both of my kids loved Head Start! It was a really good experience for them going into school; they liked seeing their friends and teachers. The social-emotional development, communication and understanding they gained definitely had a big impact on them.
