At Head Start…

…we believe that assisting low-income families in learning to deal effectively with their environment and responsibilities, in and out of school, benefits not only Head Start families, but the entire community.

…we believe that family-centered education is the best way to nurture the social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs of the child.

…we believe it is important to recognize that children develop in the context of their family and culture, and that parents are the primary educators of their children.

…we believe it is important to offer Head Start families opportunities for growth and change and that we need to let parents identify their own strengths, needs and interests.
