Early Childhood Education
Child Care Public Pre-K Head Start
Children who receive high quality early learning experiences, along with parent and family support, are far more likely to succeed in school and through their life.
We believe that the pathway to school success begins even before a child is born. The relationship between a child and their family sets the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Parents are their children's first and most important teachers and advocates.
We work with families to support the social, emotional, cognitive and physical development of their children at all ages, in classrooms and at home, to prepare them for their later transition into Kindergarten.
To meet the diverse needs of families, we offer several Early Care and Education programs. All of our programs meet the comprehensive Head Start Performance Standards to ensure the highest quality of services for children and families across Cumberland County.
