Head Start Program

Head Start is an inclusive, classroom-based early learning program designed to support children turning 3 or 4 by December 31, and runs September to June. As a private Early Childhood Services (ECS) operator, we welcome children with diverse needs, including those with significant developmental delays who qualify for Program Unit Funding (PUF).
