WE BELIEVE PARENTS ARE THE PRIMARY NURTURERS, EDUCATORS, AND ADVOCATES FOR THEIR CHILDREN. THIS FAMILY CENTERED APPROACH WORKS TO PRODUCE HIGH QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD SERVICES. WE DELIVER COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES INCLUDING: HEALTH, NUTRITION, FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICE, PARENT ENGAGEMENT AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION.

THE STAFF OF OUR HEAD START PROGRAM ARE TRAINED AND COACHED TO IMPLEMENT RESEARCH STRATEGIES AND CURRICULUMS IN THE CLASSROOM AND DURING HOME VISITS TO PROMOTE POSITIVE, SUSTAINED CHILD OUTCOMES. WE ARE ESPECIALLY PROUD OF OUR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING AND LITERACY AND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT. THIS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED BY PROVIDING YOUNG CHILDREN THE LANGUAGE-RICH, STIMULATING ENVIRONMENTS THEY NEED TO DEVELOP STRONG VOCABULARIES. A DUAL FOCUS OF THE PROGRAM IS TO STRENGTHEN FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH INTENTIONAL SCAFFOLDING OF SUPPORT TO MEET INDIVIDUAL NEEDS. COMMUNITY RESOURCES ARE MATCHED WITH PARENT/FAMILY NEEDS TO ACHIEVE GOALS TOWARD SELF-SUFFICIENCY. AN ADDITIONAL UNIQUE PART OF HEAD START GOVERNANCE AND COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS THE POLICY COUNCIL. POLICY COUNCIL MEMBERS OVERSEE THE DELIVERY OF THE PROGRAM SERVICES TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. POLICY COUNCIL IS COMPRISED OF COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVE AND PARENT REPRESENTATIVES FROM EACH OF THE HEAD START CENTERS AND THE EARLY HEAD START HOME-BASED PROGRAMS.
