Head Start offers children a high-quality early education that helps them become school and life ready. Children enjoy learning in safe and well supplied classrooms filled with books, learning games and computers. Teachers and children share the joy of learning and playing while helping children build the skills needed for future success.

Head Start pays close attention to children’s health and assists with children having medical homes, current immunizations, dental, and health screenings. Children learn best when they are healthy. 

In Head Start, children brush their teeth every day and are provided nutritious meals and snacks. Children learn how to make healthy food choices.

Head Start welcomes and supports the inclusion of children with disabilities and their families. Inclusion with their peers allows for age-appropriate modeling, growth, socialization, and developmental learning experiences.
