Preschool Philosophy

Every Head Start and Pre-K child receives a variety of learning experiences to foster intellectual, social and emotional growth. Children participate in indoor and outdoor play and are introduced to the concepts of words and numbers. They are encouraged to express their feelings and to develop self-confidence and the ability to get along with others.

Head Start and Pre-K programs have a low child-staff ratio. Staff members receive training in child development and early childhood education. This makes it possible for them to provide the most updated learning experience in our classrooms.

Special Needs

A disabled child can often learn more readily in a group with other children than in a separate group for the disabled. Head Start has successfully carried out a 1972 Congressional mandate requiring that at least 10 percent of its enrollment be available for disabled children. Disabled children and their families receive developmental services through a partnership between Head Start and the local school systems. In addition, Head Start and Pre-K staff members work closely with community agencies to provide services to meet the special needs of the disabled child. Since Head Start offers a large number of its "over income" slots to families with children with disabilities and since State Pre-K is expanding its program for over-income children, then it might be possible for your over-income children to enroll.
