Description: Head Start is a comprehensive early childhood development program for economically disadvantaged preschool children and their families. The objectives of this program are: (1) to improve the child’s health; (2) aid the child’s intellectual, social, and emotional development; (3) improve and expand the child’s ability for self-expression; and (4) help both the enrollees and their families gain greater confidence, self-respect, and dignity. Eligibility guidelines require that enrollees, including children with disabilities, are between three years of age and compulsory school attendance, and at least ninety percent are from low-income families.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

My daughter goes to school here and she loves it and the staff, I love the school as well the staff are all amazing and nice.
I am very displeased , I feel extremely discriminated against, I will never allow my children to go here. I went to register my child today and I feel disrespected I feel hurt, I'm very distressed over what occuref today at your establishment. My 3 year old daughter whom is potty trained, had to use the restroom, The lady refused to allow my daughter to use a restroom , therefore my child used it in her clothes, I believe this behavior is very unacceptable and I will be going further with my complaint, My child and myself were not treated fairly.Please do not send your children to this head start, worst place I have ever been .
