Nurturing Young Minds, One Step at a Time

At ABC Head Start, we believe every child deserves a strong foundation for their future. Our preschool program is built on the Head Start model, which emphasizes early learning that support children’s cognitive, social, and emotional growth. We provide a well-rounded educational experience that ensures a smooth transition to kindergarten, equipping your child with the tools they need to thrive.

Our responsive environment features safe, inclusive, and engaging classrooms designed to stimulate curiosity and creativity. With age-appropriate resources and a comfortable learning space, your child will have access to both an indoor gym and an outdoor play area, promoting active exploration and discovery.

Our passionate and skilled educators are dedicated to nurturing each child's unique strengths and individuality. With ongoing, high-quality training from ABC Head Start, we implement research-based strategies to support your child’s speech, social skills, self-regulation, and self-help skills.
