Services
Parent Involvement
Parent involvement is an essential element of all Early Head Start and Head Start services. Your involvement in every aspect of our services is what makes us different from other early learning programs. You are involved in all aspects of your child’s education: from developing educational goals and plans for your children, to planning activities for your centers (Center Committee), to working with management on our Leadership Council (Policy Council) planning organizational tasks and making decisions. These working relationships individualize our program services to enrolled children and families, making our services vital and relevant to those whom we serve.
Education and Disabilities Services
Parents and teachers work together to ensure that our classrooms are safe, nurturing, enriched, and secure environments where engaging, enjoyable, and challenging learning experiences are available for children and individualized to their developmental levels. Your child and family are treated as individuals in a community that values, respects, and responds to diversity. Together, you will work with staff to plan learning experiences that support the continuum of your child’s growth and development, which includes physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development. We balance your child’s day with opportunities for exploration, self-directed, and directed learning experiences. Our goal is for your child to reach their full potential. We help them gain the skills, knowledge and confidence necessary to succeed now, in public school, and later in life.
Family Services
Working as coaches, we support you as you identify your strengths, needs, and interests. We help you develop your goals all within the context of your family and culture. We offer strategies and resources as you find your own solutions, reach your goals, and nurture the development of your children. In our work with you, we bring the tools of community outreach, referrals and follow-up, family assessments, goal development, emergency assistance and/or crisis intervention (if needed), educational opportunities, and learning resources.
Health Services
Our commitment to wellness embraces an all-inclusive vision of health for children and families. The foundation of that vision is for your family to have your own medical and dental home. We emphasize the importance of preventative care and early identification of health problems. Every infant, toddler, and preschooler is involved in a comprehensive health program which includes: health screenings and exams, immunizations, medical, dental, mental health, and nutritional services. If a health concern emerges, parents, healthcare professionals and employees work together to secure a solution. Our goal for your family is to have a working relationship with your medical and dental homes that results in continuous care that meets your family’s health needs.
