The Head Start philosophy rests on the following four principals:

  1. A child can benefit most from comprehensive, interdisciplinary program to foster normal development and remedy problems.
  2. The well being of children is inextricably linked to the well-being of the entire family.
  3. Parents are the primary educators of their children and must be directly involved in the program.
  4. Partnership with other agencies and organizations in the community are essential to meeting with family needs.
