Early Childhood Education
To our Head Start Families
As we close out our 2025-2026 school year and begin preparing for a brand‑new one, we want to take a moment to thank all our Head Start families for a truly wonderful year. Your support, your presence, and your partnership have made this school year meaningful for your children and for our program.
To our kindergarten‑bound students, we are so proud of you. We send you into the new school year with confidence, hope, and encouragement. When parents stand behind their children, success follows them wherever they go, and we have seen that in each of you.
To our returning children and families, we can’t wait to welcome you back for another year of learning, growth, and joyful moments. We are already planning for a strong start and even more opportunities for parent involvement, family activities, and community connection.
This summer, our staff will be out in the community, going door‑to‑door, setting up recruitment booths, and meeting families where they are. If you need a returning application, please reach out or stop by when you see us. We would love to visit with you.
We also welcome your ideas and suggestions on how we can make parent involvement even more enjoyable and meaningful. Your voice matters, and together we can create a fun, rewarding learning experience for every child.
Parents, you are your child’s first and most important teachers. We see your dedication, your love, and your commitment every day. Because of you, your children are making great strides, academically, socially, and emotionally.
From all of us at Head Start, ahéhee’ for walking this journey with us. Please stop by our office anytime, and enjoy a safe, restful, and joyful summer with your families. Stay hydrated, take care of one another, and enjoy every moment together.
Benefits of Childhood Immunization
Update your child immunization with Head Start!
- Vaccines strengthen children's immune systems.
- Timely vaccination helps protect children from becoming ill when they are exposed to serious diseases.
- It is always better to prevent an illness than treat it.
