Our Purpose
Catholic Charities’ Head Start/Early Head Start programs promote school readiness and family self-sufficiency through holistic services.
Catholic Charities’ programs nurture and respect the individual strengths and areas for growth in each child and family served. An emphasis is placed on engaging parents in all aspects of the program and helping them to realize their full potential in order to enhance the long-term benefits of the program. Strong, supportive relationships and extensive community partnerships have been established to support families’ goal attainment.
Who We Serve
Head Start provides a range of comprehensive education, health, nutrition, parent involvement and family support services and has primarily served at-risk children and their families since 1965. The primary goal of Head Start is to promote the school readiness of low-income children by enhancing their cognitive, social and emotional development.
Head Start actually consists of two programs: Head Start (HS) and Early Head Start (EHS).
HS is a comprehensive early childhood development program primarily serving at-risk preschool-age children and their families.
EHS is a comprehensive early childhood program serving primarily at-risk children prenatal to age three, pregnant women and their families.
HS and EHS programs serve children in families earning income at or below the federal poverty level, which for a family of four in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia is $28,290 in 2017.
