Head Start

Program Description

.............................................................................................................................................................
Head Start
is a free, child and family development program for low-income families with preschoolers. We offer education, health services, social services and services to children with disabilities. Call the Head Start Administrative Office at 781-397-8071 for classroom locations and additional information. Parent Involvement is the thread that links all the program components together. All parents may participate in parent groups, special events, and decision-making committees. These activities represent a tremendous opportunity for parents to develop their leadership skills and exert a positive impact on their child's program.

Children attend class five days a week, four hours a day, receiving breakfast and lunch daily.
