About this resource
Head Start services aim to prepare children for school by fostering their social and cognitive development within a classroom environment. They offer a wide range of services, including educational, health, nutritional, and social support for both children and their families, with a particular focus on engaging parents. Services available for parents encompass parenting classes and opportunities for support and networking. Portland Public Schools administers Head Start services at nine locations for families with low incomes.
Intake Procedure: Interested individuals should contact the Sacajawea Head Start Office for further details or to submit an application.
Fees: There are no fees associated with the program.
Who can use this
