Head Start Preschool Programs: Head Start Preschool programs serve children ages 3 to 5, helping them build the early learning, social, and emotional skills they need for kindergarten. Children learn in safe, welcoming classrooms with caring teachers who support learning through play and exploration. Programs also provide healthy meals, health and dental screenings, and family support services. Head Start partners with parents every step of the way to support each child’s growth and well‑being.
