Head Start is a federal program for preschool children between the ages of 3 to 5 from low-income families. If your child qualifies they will be offered the opportunity to attend preschool for free.
At Head Start we believe in providing all children with the opportunity to have an early education. We offer a wide variety of education and health services for your child and supportive services for parents and families. We understand the important role education plays in early childhood and we believe in making education fun and exciting and creating many opportunities to learn through structured and unstructured play and group interaction. We provide top-quality education and health services to your child and families in an environment that promotes education, and encourages creativity.
What can Head Start do for your child?
Founded on the belief that every child deserves an equal opportunity, your child will:
- Take part in a variety of learning activities
- Receive free health and dental assessments
- Eat well-balanced snacks and meals
- Be encouraged to learn and explore both inside and outside of the classroom
