Head Start Child

Head Start Quality Program

Head Start promotes school readiness by enhancing the social and cognitive development of
low-income children. Head Start programs serve children ages
3 - 5 and their families.

Head Start is a unique program
that supports the development of relationships between children
and their families.

The year 2005 was an exciting year because we celebrated the 40th year anniversary of the creation and development of the Head Start Program.
