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.
Early Head Start Center‑Based Program: The Early Head Start Center‑Based Program offers center-based care for infants and toddlers. Teachers create safe, warm classrooms where children explore and learn through play. Each child gets a plan that matches their needs and stages of development. Families and teachers talk often and work as partners to set goals for each child. This option is a good fit if you need steady, high‑quality care during the week.
