Description: The overall goal of Head Start is to bring about a greater degree of social competence in the young children of low-income families. Social competence is defined as the child’s everyday responsibilities in school and life. Social competence takes into account the interrelatedness of cognitive and intellectual development, physical and mental health, nutritional needs, and other factors that enable a comprehensive approach to helping children achieve social competence. The Head Start program approach is based on the philosophy that:
A child can benefit most from a comprehensive, interdisciplinary program to foster development and remedy problems expressed in a broad range of services and;
The child’s entire family, as well as the community must be involved. The program should maximize the strengths and unique experiences of each child. The family, which is the principal influence on the child’s development, must be a direct participant in the program.
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.

This Head Start Center is amazing. Provides all my son's educational needs for development, enrichment learning.
First off I had a problem with the bus coming to get my son once that problem was solved not by the school but by me calling the head department. My son was sent to school with a coat that has now came up missing. On top of that today he came home with a mark like he may have been hit on his bottom lip I'm calling just to hear what happened && no one is answering the phones. I am going to take him out of this head start program && continue his education in another building.
