The comprehensive Head Start program provides a rich learning environment designed to address the child's nutritional and health needs while stimulating rapid growth in physical coordination, self-esteem and pre-reading skills. Children have access to computers and become adept at utilizing them as learning tools.

All services to children and families are provided at no cost to them. Families qualify by meeting the federal poverty guidelines. For example, a family of four must demonstrate that their annual income is less than $20, 000.
