What makes Head Start unique?
Early Childhood Development and Health Services
Head Start focuses on preparing children cognitively, physically, socially and emotionally. Guided by a research-based curriculum, children participate in a variety of activities, including field trips, science, math and reading-readiness experiences. Parents are included in all aspects of the child’s growth and development. Learn more…
Family and Community Engagement
Head Start partners with community agencies to provide assistance to families in need of resources to help with utilities, housing, clothing, food, and transportation. These community partnerships serve as a link between parents and other community agencies allowing broad range of support for a healthy family environment. Learn more…
Parent Involvement
No aspect of a parent’s life is as important as sharing in decisions that affect their child’s life. Head Start offers many opportunities for parents to participate in decision-making regarding the operation of the Head Start program. Parents are encouraged to participate in all aspects of our program. They offer input through participation in the Parent Committee at their center, the Policy Council, or an Advisory Committee where they are involved in new employee selection, approve how Head Start dollars are used to support the program, and decide what opportunities are offered and supported by staff and parents. The role of parents in guiding the Head Start program is truly unique. Learn more…
