Head Start / Preschoolers

 

Our Head Start Program ensures that every child receives an accelerated foundation for elementary school.

 

 

Life is a daily adventure when you are a preschooler, and Children’s Center Head Start Curriculum provides plenty of choices for your preschool child to explore and grow. Children are given opportunities to play as they learn in our stimulating educational environments.

 

Our child-directed, teacher-supported activities are standards driven and address the whole child by promoting:

•    Developmentally-Appropriate Practices

•    Hands-on Involvement

•    Decision-Making and Problem-Solving Skills

•    Character Development

•    Vocabulary

•    Social-Emotional Activities

•    Literacy Skills

•    Small Group Instruction

•    Daily Reports Providing Individual Information

 

 

Our partnership with Ada S. McKinley and Head Start

The Children’s Center and Ada S. McKinley partners together to offer families of children ages 3–5 the extra benefit of the Head Start Program and Strategies Gold Curriculum.

 

Head Start programs promote school readiness by enhancing the social and cognitive development of children through the provision of educational, health, nutritional, social and other services to enrolled children and families. They engage parents in their children's learning and help them in making progress toward their educational, literacy and employment goals.
