Head Start’s educational program is designed to meet each child’s individual needs as well as the needs of families and the community. Every child in Head Start receives a variety of learning experiences to foster intellectual, social, physical, language and emotional growth. Children receive books three times per school year through a “Reading Is Fundamental” grant, which promotes literacy and language competency. Through the use of a curriculum, ongoing assessments, early learning standards, and The Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework, Community United Head Start & Day Care, Inc. prepares the children for kindergarten. Children are encouraged to express their thoughts and feelings – developing self-confidence and the ability to get along with others.
