Description: WAGES Head Start & Early Head Start are quality comprehensive child and family development programs that serve pregnant women, infants and toddlers and their families, and preschool children ages three to five. The ultimate goal of WAGES Head Start & Early Head Start is to ensure that children enter kindergarten prepared to succeed and to give parents the tools they need to guarantee their child’s success.
The program offers center-based as well as home-based services. All centers are four and five star rated. WAGES also offers extended day services for families requiring additional program support to meet their needs due to work or school obligations. In addition to its focus on early education, WAGES Head Start also provides an array of health, dental, nutritional, and family services. As parental involvement is a strong component of the Head Start philosophy, the program works in partnership with the entire family.
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.
