Head Start supports each family to build on their individual strengths and to meet their own needs to become self-sufficient. The family services staff will partner with you to develop a Family Partnership Agreement (FPA). The FPA is a process that will help identify your family’s strengths and assist you in setting goals and developing skills that will prepare your family for the future. You will have continued support to meet your goals during regular contact with the family services staff.
