Head Start is a federal government program designed to give preschool children from low-income families a “head start” on their readiness for elementary school. The program supports parents and families in their vital roles as the primary influencers on their young children’s education and development by helping them sharpen their parenting skills and navigate the school system. This comprehensive, top-quality preschool education also provides health and nutrition education to its students and their families.
Family Services of Westchester is actively recruiting families for the new Head Start and Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) program in New Rochelle. The program provides high-quality, comprehensive early childhood education and family support services at no cost to eligible families. It welcomes families with children ages 3–5 who are interested in a nurturing, engaging learning environment that supports school readiness and whole-family success.
