Head Start is a federally funded program designed to give three to five year old children and their families the experiences they need to bring about success in public schools and improve their quality of family life.
Children receive medical, dental, speech, hearing and developmental screenings. Follow-up services are provided as needed.
We accept applications of children 3 to 5 years of age year round. We mainstream children with disabilities.
