Head Start Preschool

Head Start is an income based, free, family-focused preschool program. We accept children ages three to five years old - including children with special needs.

Head Start provides comprehensive services to help prepare children for Kindergarten. Children receive educational services, family support, nutritious snacks & meals, health screenings, and mental health services.

Family Support Specialists work with families to develop and achieve family goals, while teachers provide supply school readiness skills such as language development, math & science activities, and creative arts.

Head Start thrives on parent involvement. Whether it is volunteering in the classroom, attending parent group, or participating in Policy Council, volunteering helps strengthen your relationship with your child as well as contribute to your child's overall development.

Head Start accepts applications year round, but classrooms fill up quickly. While priority is given to eligible children, higher income children as well as children with special needs, are encouraged to apply.
