Family Services support Head Start Families in their efforts to improve the quality of family life. This is done through Family Partnership building, assisting families with accessing community services and resources, providing opportunities for parent education and serving as a family advocate.
Family Services also organizes parent group/meetings and informational speakers who can provide insight about parenting issues, family relationships, child development and budgeting
Head Start’s philosophy is that parents are the primary educators of their children, and our goal is to enhance that concept by enabling parents to participate in making policy decisions, parent education, and through participation in the classroom and other activities which increase self-confidence and family involvement.
