About this PreSchool

Head Start is a federally-funded child development program designed to help break the cycle of poverty by providing preschool children of low-income families with a comprehensive program to meet their emotional, social, health, nutritional and psychological needs.

Head Start's approach is that the parent is the child's primary educator and that the entire family, as well as the community, must be involved in guiding and nurturing the child.

Over the past four decades, Head Start has touched the lives of more than 250,000 low-income preschool children and families at more than 140 locations in San Diego County.
