Head Start is designed to promote children’s social competence and school readiness by enhancing the social, cognitive, physical and emotional development of children.
We recognize parents are their child’s first and most important teacher. Our goal is to…
Engage parents in their children’s learning as the primary nurturers of their children
Help parents in making progress toward their goals (e.g., educational, literacy and employment), and
Involve parents in program decisions and development
