Head Start Program

Head Start is a nationally recognized child development program designed to meet the educational, mental, nutritional, and social needs of 3- and 4-year-olds and their families. Head Start helps all children succeed. Special Services are offered to meet the special needs of children with disabilities.

 

If your child will be a minimum of 3 years old by August 15th, and if your income meets federal guidelines, then he/she may qualify for the Head Start program.
