About Us
Our kids come from very low-income families yet receive the highest quality services available. The goal is to provide our children with what all children deserve - a safe place to learn, nutritious meals, and a nurturing environment with individualized attention.

With a strong emphasis on training and education, our staff is well equipped to provide the services that have earned us the "Program of Excellence" designation from the National Head Start Association. We join the ranks of only 25 out of 2700 programs in the United States that have received this prestigious award. Our food service staff provides over 1,000 delicious meals daily from menus designed by a registered dietician. In addition, our Families First Initiative provides classes to help families reach their goals and create a healthy home environment.


Our Mission
Strengthening children and families by improving the quality of their lives through a comprehensive approach to development, education, health and well-being.
