Early Headstart

Children grow and change so much in the first years!  Your child is learning from the moment they are born, and it’s important to make sure they reach developmental milestones when they are ready.  Our staff is specially trained to provide responsive, encouraging care and to offer the structure and routine that makes very young children feel secure.

Head Start programs provide daily routines to nurture your child’s curiosity and build relationships with caregivers in a safe, fun environment.  We also use activities like storytelling, playing with toys, music and movement, and art, to learn through play.

Building a Strong Foundation for Pregnant Moms and Children ages Birth to 5 – Early Head Start/Head Start programs provide children and families that are income eligible the opportunity to develop skills for parenting and school readiness.  Head Start provides FREE resources for the whole family in order for you to meet your family goals as well as prepare your child for the school setting.
