What is Head Start?
Head Start is a federally funded program that promotes school readiness for children ages 3 to 5 by enhancing their cognitive, social, and emotional development. Our curriculum is tailored to meet the individual needs of each child, ensuring they build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
Early Head Start serves pregnant women, infants, and toddlers up to age 3. This program supports the healthy development of young children through comprehensive services that focus on early education, health, nutrition, and family well-being.
