Head Start

Since 1965, Head Start has been dedicated to providing a comprehensive child development program for income-eligible families with children from infancy to five years old. The program aims to prepare children for success in kindergarten and beyond by supporting their physical, and social-emotional development, and enhancing parental involvement in child development and education. Head Start offers a range of services including preschool education, health and nutrition services, social services, and family literacy programs. Applications are open year-round, and eligibility extends to low-income families, foster children, children with disabilities, and homeless families.
