From school districts donating classroom space and educational materials to private organizations donating equipment for children with disabilities, community organizations provide a wide array of services to our programs. We simply could not provide such a high level of quality service without these partners. Head Start service highlights the importance of collaboration between Head Start programs and the broader community.

Public School Partnerships - An integral part of our ongoing commitment to provide services to children that have long-lasting, positive affects, is our partnership with public schools. Many of our centers that serve 4 year olds are located in public schools. Child services and curriculums are coordinated with the school to assist in the child's progress toward school readiness and success. Our goals are to provide developmentally appropriate learning experiences for all learners who participate in the program that will develop, enhance, and enrich their understanding of themselves and the world around them. We strive to develop learners who are able to interact with each other in socially acceptable ways that will ultimately enable them to contribute in a positive way both in and out of the school setting. We recognize the importance of parents in the educational process and ultimately, the success of their child who is participating in our program. Parents are invited to involve themselves as fully as possible in their child's preparation for successful involvement and participation in preschool.
