The Head Start philosophy rests on the following four principals:
-
A child can benefit most from comprehensive, interdisciplinary program to foster normal development and remedy problems.
-
The well being of children is inextricably linked to the well-being of the entire family.
-
Parents are the primary educators of their children and must be directly involved in the program.
-
Partnership with other agencies and organizations in the community are essential to meeting with family needs.
