Head Start is a federally funded preschool program that provides comprehensive services to children based on family income.

Our mission is to provide a high-quality preschool program that prepares your child to succeed in tomorrow’s world. We enhance the self-esteem and personal growth of all children, including those with special needs, while preparing every child to enter school ready to learn. We build up your family’s strengths, goals and your role as your child’s first teacher.  We partner with you, your child, and the community to promote and advocate for healthy development.

Head Start accepts students ages 3 or 4 based on their family income.
