The staff believe that a child learns best by doing. Each child is unique and we encourage development of their individual personality within the family circle. The child receives services along with the entire family. Our approach is to be supportive and caring, and to assist families to achieve family goals that are attainable and realistic. While Head Start's goal is to prepare children to enter the regular education program, our focus is to service the entire family.
Parents are at the center of all planning and preparation of the educational program.
Head Start's primary goal is to meet the individual differences and needs of all participating children and to establish close ties between parents and the school that will foster life-long learning in the school as well as in the home. Instruction and preparation of the environment for children maximizes on self-learning and exploration. Cognitive, social and emotional development are enhanced by using a variety of teaching methods and centers in the classroom. We prepare and structure the environment to meet the individual needs of the child. The Early Prevention of School Failure Program I.D.E.A. is utilized as our Early Childhood Curriculum along with Head Start Standards.
