Our Teachers

Our teachers are among the most educated in the area- regardless of the age of your child. We are providing the highest quality early childhood experiences for all children. We advocate for the importance of quality early childhood experiences.

Philosophy

Our philosophy is to regard the personal qualities of each child as gifts to be nurtured, shared, and appreciated. Each child is unique in his or her combination of strengths, weaknesses, interests, talents, needs, and styles. Each child’s individuality is appreciated and considered in the context of the children around him or her. The diversity inherent among families is recognized and respected.

We aim to provide the highest quality early childhood education while supporting families’ growth and ensuring the safety of all children in our care.

About our program

Head Start promotes school readiness for children, ages three to five, in low-income families by offering educational, nutritional, health, social, and other services. Head Start programs enhance the social and cognitive development of children and actively engage families in their children’s learning so that children will be successful in kindergarten.

Head Start is a program run by the United States Department of Health and Human Services. The program is funded primarily by the federal government, but also relies on the community to cover a portion of the operating costs, generally through volunteering or donations. The services provided by the Head Start program come at no financial cost to the enrolled families.

Head Start serves over a million children and their families each year in urban and rural areas in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Territories, including many American Indian and migrant children.
