Services are provided to over 240 children and their families (ages 0 to 5 years and pregnant women) through center-based or home-based options every year.
Head Start promotes school readiness by enhancing the social and cognitive development of children through the provision of education, health, nutritional, social and other services to enrolled children and families. We promote healthy prenatal outcomes for women, enhance the development of very young children, strengthen the parent-child bond and improve family relationships.
We engage parents in their children's learning and support them in making progress toward their educational, literacy and employment goals. Significant emphasis is placed on the involvement of parents in the administration of local Head Start programs.
