Head Start Services
Head Start is a national program that promotes school readiness by enhancing the social and cognitive development of children. Head Start programs provide educational, health, nutritional, social, and other services to enrolled children and families.
Head Start focuses on delivering high quality child development programs while encouraging parents and guardians to become more involved in their child's learning. Head Start staff establish partnerships with parents and assist in identifying community support services. Parents also have the opportunity to participate in the operation, governance, and evaluation of local Head Start programs.
