Head Start/Early Head Start Services
What is Head Start/Early Head Start?
Head Start/Early Head Start and Preschool for All/Prevention Initiative are early learning programs recognized for high quality, family-centered education for children ages 0 to 5 years. Download the 2019 Head Start/Early Head Start flyer.
The goal of these programs is to promote school readiness in young children of all abilities from families that are at-risk due to socio-economic, environmental, or developmental factors. Our center based and home based programs combine high quality early learning experiences for children with comprehensive and integrated services to support the entire family.
