Head Start/Early Head Start Mission Statement

We believe that everyone has an array of strengths and that by encouraging instructional staff and parents to build on those strengths, our efforts will enhance student achievement.

The mission of the Head Start/Early Head Start program is to bring about a greater degree of social competence in children of low-income families in a way that:

Promotes intellectual and cognitive development
Improves physical and mental health
Advocates healthy nutritional practices
Enhances student achievement
Increases parent involvement
Encourages self-sufficiency

so that the child is successful in dealing with his or her present environment and in handling future responsibilities in school and life.
