Family & Community Partnerships
A key goal of Head Start is to help families identify and meet their goals, nurture the development of their children and advocate for the community in which they live. This is done within the context of the family and the culture. Families receive support in becoming self sufficient by help in identification of their own strengths, needs, interests and skills which can be applied toward meeting family goals.

Collaborative relationships with community organizations promote and improve the delivery of community services for children and families. An area of special focus is non-English speaking children and their families. By supporting the child's primary language we create the foundation to acquire proficiency in English, thereby enhancing school readiness.
