Every Child Deserves a Head Start!

Head Start offers free, high quality child development services to income eligible families with children ages 0-5 years old. Head Start and Early Head Start is child-focused learning, but also provides comprehensive services to the child's family.

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