Core Beliefs

Home | Head Start History | Father Power Program

Head Start Believes That:

All stakeholders will respond positively to challenges and change when they are involved in the process.

Parents are the first teachers, but that we all have a responsibility for the education of our children and must serve as positive role models.

Everyone can learn when the necessary tools are provided.

Providing the necessary resources and supports will help our families become self-sufficient.

All people have the right to self-determination and expression of individuality.

Our families are important consumers and will be treated with dignity and respect by our entire staff.

A child can achieve his/her full potential with support, early intervention and inspiration from the Head Start family.

Children are entitled to positive self-esteem and feel that they are as important as anyone else.

We can raise self-esteem and help children learn respect for themselves and others.
