Early Childhood Education
To Head Start Families
Welcome to the Head Start Program. We are honored that you have chosen our program for your child. At Head Start, your child’s learning, health, and cultural identity are valued every single day. Our program is more than a classroom, it is a partnership with families, a commitment to community well‑being, and a safe, nurturing environment where children build confidence, curiosity, and readiness for kindergarten.
Enrollment is still open, and we are excited to welcome new families into our community. Your family’s strengths, culture, and goals matter deeply to us, and we look forward to supporting you throughout the year.
Our program includes three classrooms: one located in Ramah and two in Pinehill. Each center provides quality services designed to support your child’s growth in early learning, health, nutrition, and social‑emotional development.
As a Head Start family, you will have access to a wide range of supports, including
- Early Learning
- Health and Developmental Screenings
- Nutrition Services
- Family Engagement and Goal‑Setting
- Mental Health Support
- Inclusive Services for Children with Disabilities
- Cultural and Language Support
We are committed to working alongside you to ensure your child has a strong, confident start to their educational journey. Thank you for choosing Head Start! We look forward to a successful and meaningful year together.
Benefits of Childhood Immunization
Update your child immunization with Head Start!
- Vaccines strengthen children's immune systems.
- Timely vaccination helps protect children from becoming ill when they are exposed to serious diseases.
- It is always better to prevent an illness than treat it.
