Head Start
WHAT IS HEAD START?
Head Start is a federally funded, comprehensive interdisciplinary, preschool Child Development Program for eligible children and their family members. Currently, St. Joseph and Elkhart Counties are funded to serve 1020 children in classrooms located in area schools.
HEAD START MISSION
To create a seamless system of education and child development for underserved preschool children providing a nurturing, learning environment to ready them for kindergarten. We recognize the holistic approach to the child’s development is essential. Therefore, in addition to the interdisciplinary educational component, the program will have a comprehensive health component...strong family and community component. We believe that we must strengthen and empower our children and families to overcome these obstacles and create a solid, secure foundation upon which to build.
