When a child or family joins Head Start, they gain more than an early childhood program. They gain a team. 💙
Our Early Head Start and Head Start Preschool staff work alongside families as children learn and grow.
That might mean talking through questions about a child's development. It might mean helping a family set goals and take steps toward them. It could mean connecting parents and caregivers with resources or helping them prepare for their child's next big transition.
Every family is different, so the support they need can be different, too.
That's part of what we mean when we say Head Start is more than preschool. We're here for the child and the family surrounding them.
