Description: Head Start/Early Head Start believes that parents are the most important influence on a child's academic as well as personal success. Parents are encouraged to participate in their child's infant/toddler and preschool experiences. Our comprehensive program is designed to include families and to provide information and support in education, nutrition and health care for all.
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.
