Our Vision & Philosophy
Core Values
Head Start will become the standard for comprehensive childcare and family services with shared resources, greater collaboration cooperation and increased community standards.
A child can benefit most from a comprehensive disciplinary program to foster development and remedy problems, as expressed in a broad range of services. The child's entire family, as well as the community, must be involved. The Head Start Program is a family-focused program. The Head Start environment will provide the children the opportunity to develop to their maximum potential.
