Description: Mountain Pine Head Start Child Development Center is one of the grantees of CSO, Inc. Head Start Program in Garland County. The overall goal of the CSO, Inc. Head Start Program is to bring about a greater degree of social competence in the young children of low-income families. Social competence refers to the child’s everyday effectiveness in dealing with both his or her present environment and later responsibilities in school and life.
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 school is super clean and the teachers go ABOVE and BEYOND for their kids. They go out of their way to keep the parents happy and have a ton of patience with every single kids! Mrs.Caldwell & Mrs.Donna have made my daughter going from being home all the time to being in full time preschool an easy transition!!! LOVE THEM!
The only good thing about this school and it's teachers are the cleanliness. Both teacher's are horrible they do not teach the children, they spend much of their time in a very negative way. I am so glad my child is now in kindergarten. They speak very bad of the children & their parents. As well as very personal private information. It is a shame that you can not trust this so called Christian women with children. I am so glad my child is gone !!!
