Education
Head Starts goal is to provide an environment filled with people, objects and experiences that stimulate each child's curiosity and learning. We encourage each child to develop his/her own unique pattern of interests, talents and skills. While we recognize that as each child grows and develops at different rates, their individual goals will help them in school readiness.
Every child in our program is an individual, with different interests, skills, strengths and needs. Our goal is to get to know as much as possible about each and every child so that we can utilize guided learning and plan experiences that are just right. To do this we use an authentic, ongoing, observation based assessment system to gather information on each child's development and learning. This program is called Teaching Strategies GOLD
