Head Start Preschool Programs
Two different Head Start programs exist to best serve our children and parents:
Head Start Preschool
The Head Start Preschool serves children from 6 weeks to 5 years old.
Head Start Home School
The Head Start Home School program supports families by providing in-home services to assist parents in the educational growth of their children. Home visitors come into the home weekly and work with parent and child on activities designed to address their child’s individual needs. Children also learn through socialization during regular visits to a center.
The Head Start Home School program serves pregnant women and families with children up five years old (before entering kindergarten). Head Start Home School is a great alternative to traditional preschool education if the parent is not ready for their child to go to a center, or if the parent wants more one-on-one assistance in helping their child prepare for a life filled with learning.
Home visits are comprised of 1.5 hours of home visitation weekly, with the offering of socialization within the community
