About the Provider

Advertisement
Head Start is a nationwide program that serves expectant families and children age birth to five who meet income guidelines. These families experience activities that help them grow mentally, socially, emotionally, and physically. Families leave Head Start excited about learning and ready to succeed in all future settings. Our educational program is based on a hands-on exploration style of learning. Each child will be challenged to work at the edge of his or her abilities in classrooms that are individualized, child initiated/teacher supported, non-biased, and safe for all children. Children are encouraged to make their own choices and solve their own problems through engaging in conversations, and exchanging ideas. Families are encouraged to participate in the planning of their child's Head Start experience. In our home based options, parents learn to plan these activities for their children.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
