Curriculum
Head Start
Since 1965, Head Start has been providing low income children and families the supports they need for a better future.
Head Start's approach includes:
- a fundamental belief that all children can succeed
- a commitment to provide a nurturing environment that supports the healthy growth and development of each child in the context of the child's family, culture, and community
- relating to parents as partners who share in decision-making and actively participate in policy groups that support the whole family
- meeting the needs of children with special challenges
- strengthening linkages within communities
The Head Start program provides:
- activities that help preschoolers grow mentally, socially, emotionally, and physically.
- free health screening, vision, and hearing; mental health services
- healthy meals and snacks, and enjoy playing indoors and outdoors in a safe setting.
- support and resources for problems that affect the entire family
