Description: Head Start is a comprehensive child development program that provides education, nutrition, health, and social services to income eligible preschool children and their families. It is one of the most successful federal programs ever created. Head Start helps prepare children to enter kindergarten as it embraces families and encourages them to achieve a better 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.
