Greetings Parents and Welcome to the Duval Head Start/Early Head Start program where our youngest learners shine bright!
In Duval with provide high-quality educational services to children while simultaneously providing life-changing support services to families. We deeply believe that all children can learn and succeed when we address the needs of the whole child. Our program is designed to foster social-emotional, physical, cognitive, and language & literacy development in children to ensure that they are prepared for Kindergarten. This is done in partnership with our teachers and parents as we recognize that parents are their children’s first teachers. Plus we know that children learn best when they are healthy and nourished, and their families are strong and connected to the community.
