How Services are Provided Children meet in a classroom setting for three and a half hours, four days each week. Each family receives regularly scheduled home visits, and there are family activities and special programs for everyone. Before your child learns to read, he or she must pass through a series of growth experiences. Head Start is designed to give your child those experiences.
Children learn about self, family, and community.
They learn to see differences and sameness, color, size, shapes, and change. With time and support,children develop feelings of success and self-esteem. Already your child has learned many things from you. You are his or her first true teacher. Head Start helps parents to realize and further develop the skills necessary to teach their own children.
