Give Your Child a Head Start!
Head Start provides comprehensive early childhood education for children ages Birth-5. The program incorporates health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income children and families and is completely FREE! Do I qualify for Head Start?
 
Why should I enroll my child in Head Start? 
 
We have three major reasons why believe our program will be a great fit for you and your child(ren): 
 
  • Quality education at no cost for children ages Birth-5
  • Additional support services and screenings
  • Increases school readiness
Programs deliver child development services in center-based, home-based, or family childcare settings. All Head Start programs continually work toward our mission for eligible children and families to receive high-quality services in safe and healthy settings that prepare children for school and life.
