Pre-kindergarten Head Start is a multi-component  program that serves eligible children and families in Philadelphia by providing a comprehensive range of essential services designed to encourage each child and family to achieve their maximum potential. Working as partners with parents, Pre-kindergarten Head Start utilized a team approach that integrates the following:

  • Comprehensive developmental preschool education for eligible children including children with special needs
  • Family focused health, nutrition and social services
  • Opportunities for parent involvement and education
  • Parent and community volunteers
Pre-kindergarten Head Start provides these interrelated services by using an interdisciplinary team of advocates for children and their families in the program and in the community.

Pre-kindergarten Head Start acknowledges parents as the primary educators of their children, and believes that to empower and educated parents is to empower the family.
