Sacramento County Head Start/Early Head Start programs have been dedicated to providing the highest quality comprehensive services since 1981. A commitment to excellence in child development, school readiness, health, nutrition, mental health, and family support services has endured even amongst the numerous changes over the last few years.
It allowed me to see my children's strengths and know where they need help.
I learned to be a better parent and spend time playing and teaching the kids.
We love our teacher she is great!
The program has given us child socializations with other families, parenting information and advice on education and school.
Our child is speech delayed so our teacher helped her. She is getting better and talking more. Thank you!
My family was able to understand the stages of our child and readiness for Kindergarten.
We have been able to learn the ages and stages of our son.
Both my children have learned and evolved from the program.
Now we have a teacher that provides us with age appropriate activities.
I have gained a lot of knowledge about children and can get along with children better.
As we reflect on the 2022-2023 program year, we are especially proud of all the Head Start staff for ensuring the mission of the program through commitment, passion, and dedication. Their hard work was evident in a very successful Federal Review by the Office of Head Start. In addition to our dedicated staff, our greatest strengths are our shared resources and allied partnerships within the community and with families, Parent Advisory Committee, Policy Council, and Board Members.
It is through these high-quality collaborations that Sacramento County Head Start and Early Head Start programs are able to implement standards that ensure infants and toddlers are ready for preschool, preschoolers are ready for kindergarten and families are supported with lifelong skills that lead to their child’s success in life and school.
