PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Head Start is a family oriented comprehensive child development program.  It is designed to provide education, social services, health, and nutrition services to income eligible families.

MAJOR COMPONENTS


EDUCATION:  The program is designed to give each child a variety of learning experiences.  Individual activities especially designed to promote self-help, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development are provided.

SOCIAL SERVICES: Staff are available to help families and provide resource information.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT:  The parent is the child's first teacher and therefore, the most important influence on a child's development.  Parent participation is essential in every program component.

FAMILY LITERACY:  Family members are matched with tutors on a confidential basis, to help improve both reading and comprehension skills at various levels. 

DISABILITY SERVICES:  We recognize the importance of early detection of learning and social disabilities.  We have programs that are available through different agencies to aide in these areas.

HEALTH SERVICES: Head Start emphasizes the importance of early identification of problems, which can affect the child's development.  A comprehensive health program including referrals to health and nutritional services are available.
