Head Start is a comprehensive, child development program that recognizes parents as the child’s first and most influential teachers and their homes as the primary learning center. Our success is based upon creation of compassionate partnerships between Head Start staff and parents on behalf of their children. We enroll the neediest families to provide them with the highest quality early childhood experiences and partnerships with local resources. We visit families in their homes, engage them in planning for their future, provide them with health and nutrition information and guide them on how to be advocates for their children. We provide services to children ages 0-4 years, prenatal services are also available.
