Child Development
Head Start provides a learning environment that helps children develop socially, intellectually, physically and emotionally. This is accomplished through an individualized and developmentally appropriate approach for each child. Our goal is to meet the quality guidelines described by Head Start Performance Standards, the North Carolina Child Day Care Licensing Law and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accreditation criteria.

The curriculum is designed to ensure that the children are skilled in speaking and understanding, phonics, book knowledge and appreciation, print awareness and concepts, and early writing and alphabet knowledge. Each child's progress is monitored throughout the school year using Galileo, a web-based program that measures outcomes in eight domain areas. Field trips are provided to enhance the educational experience.

Children have access to classroom computers. Computer activities are designed to stimulate early literacy and improve math and science skills. Centers are connected to the Internet.
