What our families say

Head Start helped to establish a healthy routine and expectations for my son through daily activities. It helped him learn to love school, and is the reason he tested into honors for kindergarten.

– Head Start Parent

Head Start has made it possible for me to work and not have to pay for childcare; because of it, not only have I been able to work more, I’ve been able to advance my career.

– Head Start Parent

Head Start provides a stable and safe place for our child, super nice teachers and staff. It prepared her for success going forward and taught her how to be social and share with others. It enhanced the compassion she already had.

– Head Start Parent

“Many children need a Head Start, and we’re going to make sure they get it…In Head Start we found a government program that works to strengthen families and communities for the future.”

-President George H. W. Bush
