Head Start
Head Start is a comprehensive program for children three to five years of age. The program prepares young children to enter kindergarten by helping them to develop mentally, socially, emotionally, physically, and ultimately, school ready.
To enroll in Head Start, families must be income eligible by meeting the requirements of the federal poverty guidelines and live within the zip codes that we service.
