NVFS Head Start

Head Start Center in Arlington

Education is the foundation from which children can build future success. With the right tools and resources, preschool-aged children are better prepared to enter the school system and excel.

Head Start promotes school readiness in low-income children ages 3 to 5, who may otherwise find themselves behind their peers in kindergarten. The program enhances the social and cognitive development of children through educational, health, nutritional, social and other services. Significant emphasis is placed on parent involvement, and Head Start teachers and family advocates engage parents in their children’s learning, and help them progress toward their educational, literacy and employment goals.
