Since children learn best through active involvement, Holy Cross Head Start provides an enriched, stimulating, and safe environment that encourages exploration and experimentation.
Our curriculum includes programs that educate the entire family on how to be an advocate for their child's health, while encouraging good oral health and healthy eating.
We pride ourselves in working closely with our families to prevent childhood obesity by educating them in the importance of choosing healthy meal options and limiting fatty, sugary foods.
Holy Cross provides linkages with family support services, which helps families develop and reach their goals. Our staff can provide referrals for resources such as food, clothing, shelter, counseling, emergency assistance, and more.
One of our goals at Holy Cross Head Start is to prepare each child and their family for kindergarten. In order to reach that goal, some children and their families may require some extra care and assistance.
