EARLY HEADSTART

Early Headstart is a public prekindergarten school that is part of the Windham School District school district, located in Willimantic, CT.

The Early Head Start program located at 355 High Street in Willimantic, Connecticut, is an essential community resource dedicated to supporting the development of infants, toddlers, and expectant families. As part of the federally funded Head Start network, this program focuses on providing comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and parent engagement services. By targeting children from birth to age three, the center aims to lay a strong foundation for lifelong learning, particularly for families facing economic challenges or developmental vulnerabilities.

In addition to classroom-based instruction, the Willimantic location emphasizes a "whole-family" approach. This includes providing wrap-around support services such as developmental screenings, access to medical and dental care, and resources that empower parents to serve as their child’s primary educators and advocates. Through this holistic model, the program strives to foster school readiness and improve long-term outcomes for both the children and the parents in the Windham County community.
