Head Start Early Care & Education

Give your child a HEAD START!

You might be eligible for free, high-quality preschool and early education for your child!

Head Start is a federally funded program that provides free services to support preschool and early learning and development, health, and well-being for families that meet certain criteria and have children from birth to age 5, as well as individuals who are pregnant.

Head Start prioritizes services for families with lower incomes, children with special needs, families experiencing homelessness or engaged in the foster care system, families receiving public assistance, and other families depending on circumstances and availability.

YDI is committed to providing a high-quality early childhood education grounded in research and best practices. We utilize The Creative Curriculum and Teaching Strategies GOLD, a comprehensive, research-based framework designed to support the development of the whole child. Our highly qualified teaching staff thoughtfully implement daily lesson plans that foster growth in key developmental areas, including social-emotional, cognitive, language, and physical skills. Through engaging, developmentally appropriate activities, we create a nurturing and stimulating learning environment where every child can thrive.
