The Head Start Program is designed to meet the needs of preschool children from low-income families and children with disabilities.
Children are enrolled in the Head Start program for one or two years, depending on the child's age, prior to entering Kindergarten.
As part of the Strategic Plan, ABC Unified School District has made student achievement a priority.
The Head Start program encompasses this vision and, in concert with the district, strives to achieve School Readiness for all children in the program.
To ensure healthy development of the whole child and a successful transition into primary education, children will develop pre-academic skills and achieve developmental milestones.
The California Department of Education, Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE), and Office of Child Development establish the guidelines for service eligibility.
Priority is given to children who will be three years old by September 1st.
The Family's adjusted monthly income cannot exceed the income ceiling established by the Department of Education.
