Mission Statement
We hold ourselves accountable to work in collaboration with our families and communities to provide a quality program, committed to the wellness of the entire family.
Philosophy
See a child as they are meant to be.
The services provided by this program are very comprehensive. Five major component areas serve the needs of the children enrolled and their families: Education/Literacy, Health, Parent Involvement, Family Services and Nutrition.
Head Start is directed primarily toward economically disadvantaged families having children ages three to five years old. All nationalities are served, with preference given to Nativen American families.
