HEAD START PROGRAM

Head Start Program is a public prekindergarten school that is part of the Enfield School District school district, located in Enfield, CT.

The Head Start Program located at 1270 Enfield St. in Enfield, Connecticut, is a federally funded early childhood education initiative designed to support the development of children from low-income families. As part of a national network, the program focuses on "school readiness" by providing comprehensive services that address not only academic instruction but also the cognitive, social, and emotional development of children, typically aged three to five.

Beyond the classroom, the Enfield Head Start facility emphasizes a holistic approach to student success by integrating family support and health services. This includes providing nutritious meals, developmental screenings, and access to medical or dental resources, while also working closely with parents to encourage family stability and engagement in their child’s educational journey. By fostering a nurturing environment, the program aims to close the achievement gap and ensure that children are well-prepared for the transition into elementary school.
