Give your child the best start on their learning journey! ABC Head Start Society provides high-quality, inclusive early learning programs for children aged 3-5, helping them build confidence, social skills, and school readiness.
Head Start Program
Head Start is an inclusive, classroom-based early learning program designed to support children turning 3 or 4 by December 31, and runs September to June. As a private Early Childhood Services (ECS) operator, we welcome children with diverse needs, including those with significant developmental delays who qualify for Program Unit Funding (PUF).
Family Programs
Our support extends beyond the classroom. Our Family Engagement Team works with families to create meaningful connections and ensure they are involved in their child’s learning journey, through programs like Stay and Play groups and Parent Workshops.
