Head Start Goal

"The overall goal of the Head Start Program is to increase to a greater degree the social competence of young children in low-income families."

Head Start Philosophy

"To offer family members with opportunities and support for growth and change, believing that people can identify their own strengths and interests and are capable of finding solutions."

"To foster the roles of parents as the primary educators and nurtures, of and advocates for, their children. To work in close partnerships with parents to assist them in developing and utilizing individual and family strengths in order to successfully meet personal and family objectives. To encourage parents to become involved in all aspects of the program, from participation in children's activities to direct involvement in policy and program decisions."

We focus on the whole child. In addition to education we focus on all of the developmental, social, nutritional and health needs of the child and family. Roll over the following words to find out more. The info will pop up as you roll over the word:
