Welcome to ABC Head Start Society: Launching Bright Futures!

We are a children’s charity that provides early learning and development programming and family services that inspire bright futures.

ABC Head Start has been committed to promoting and supporting strong children, families, and communities in Edmonton since 1985. We know that by giving children the best possible early learning and development opportunities in life, we ensure the future well-being and prosperity of not just children, but of families and entire communities.

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).

Family Programs

Our support extends beyond the classroom. Our Family Engagement Team works with families to create meaningful connections and ensure they are involved in their child’s learning journey, through programs like Stay and Play groups and Parent Workshops.
