Head Start improves the lives of low-income children by providing family focused child development and school readiness services including education, health, nutrition, and mental health.

Our mission is accomplished by involving parents in the total operation and administration of the program and supporting the growth of children, families and staff through encouragement, nurturing, education and empowerment.

Head Start`s philosophy is based on the following principles:

• A child`s culture and family provide the foundation upon which the child`s social competence develops.
• Parents are the primary educators of their children and the experts on their child`s development. Parents and teachers work together in partnership to address the needs and holistic growth of each child so that learning will be supported in the home and at school.
