Early Head Start/ Head Start - A high quality early childhood development program prepares income eligible and at-risk children for academic success; instilling a love for learning and increases their readiness for school. The program utilizes the High Scope Curriculum, an active approach for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years, providing opportunities for social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. On-going screening and assessment is used to measure children's developmental achievements and progress toward their school readiness goals. Evidenced based practices are implemented to support on-going program quality. The program served children and their families during the 2016-2017 year. The program provides comprehensive health, nutrition, dental health, mental health, education, social support, parent education and engagement. Services for children with disabilities are integrated into the program. Respect for individuality, culture and diversity are valued. The philosophical basis is that parents are the primary educators of their children and are integral partners in program decision making. The program partners with community agencies to ensure community services are available to help achieve their goals.
