Head Start Philosophy and Goals
York County Head Start is a comprehensive school readiness program that enhances the social and cognitive development of children between the ages 3-5 years and their families, regardless of sex, race, national origin or disability. We believe all children have the right to a quality preschool experience to help prepare them for school and later life. Our goal is to

help every child learn the life skills that are so important in today’s world, such as getting along with others, making healthy choices, and preparing them for entering the public school ready to learn. We at York County Head Start provide warm, loving teachers and a safe learning environment, both physically and emotionally, to encourage exploration and productive problem-solving. We provide a variety of materials and experiences for children to explore and experiment with, and help children develop the self-esteem and the self-confidence to gain independence and their own individual voices. Parents play an important role in the education of their children and are encouraged to be as active as possible in the classroom as well as all other aspects of the program. Head Start believes that the parent is the child’s primary educator and should be involved in every aspect of the program. Parents are encouraged to become active and informed about their child’s development, strengths, areas of needed improvement, and interests. The program takes appropriate measures to maintain confidentiality and to protect child and family information.
