About our program

In partnership with Head Start, Youth Development Inc. operates 28 Head Start centers; 18 in Bernalillo County, and 10 centers in Taos and Rio Arriba County. NAEYC accredited, our program provides free high-quality preschool and child care for children ages 0-5 years.

Head Start is the national commitment to give every child, regardless of circumstances at birth, an opportunity to succeed in school and in life. In the 50+ years since its inception, Head Start has improved the lives of more than 37 million children and their families. Head Start alumni—or “Head Start babies,” as they often call themselves—are in all walks of the nation’s life.
