Preparing Young Explorers for a World of Infinite Possibilities!

ABC Head Start is dedicated to empowering children and families through early childhood education and support.

We focus on providing inclusive, high-quality programs for children, helping them develop socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically during their critical early years.

Through our Head Start Programs and Family Support – we ensure that every child, regardless of background or ability, has an equal opportunity to thrive. We serve families facing financial, social, and developmental challenges, offering a holistic approach that integrates early learning with health, nutrition, and family support services.
