Head Start & Early Head Start

Head Start at United Community Action Network

Are you looking for preschool for your children? Our Head Start program can help.

What We Offer

Head Start provides classes for young children and pregnant women. In our classes, your children learn the skills they need to succeed when they start kindergarten. Your children learn everything from resolving conflict to working in groups. Your children also learn early math, language and physical skills.

Our Head Start program also provides your children:

  • Dental checkups,
  • Screenings to see if they have special needs,
  • Vision and hearing checkups,
  • Busing to centers (depending on where you live)
  • Healthy snacks, breakfasts and lunches

As a parent or guardian of a Head Start child, we offer you help to best support your children. You can attend fun family get-togethers, and you can learn to be a leader by joining our Policy Council.
