Every Head Start family is assigned a Family Advocate to provide support, information, and referrals in response to the needs of the family.

Head Start believes that all children - with and without disabilities - should be included in all aspects of our program.

​

Family Services Includes:

  • Regular contact in accordance with the family's needs.

  • Information and referrals to community agencies.

  • Classroom assistance.

  • Linking parents to other parts of the program.

  • Assistance with finding health care and other services for children.

  • Parent meetings and training sessions are provided for parents on topics of interest.

  • Offer parenting support and strategies.

  • Support parental health and links to community services during pregnancy.

  • Connect families to community and federal assistance.

  • Family Engagement Events.

  • Engage parents as their child's lifelong advocate.

  • We welcome parents to offer ways to improve children's and families' experiences in the program, including through leadership roles on the Policy Council.

  • Support the child and family's transition to the next step in Head Start, kindergarten, or another early childhood program.
