Mission
Seattle Public Schools Head Start educates and supports young children and their families to enhance their potential for success as life-long learners!
The overall goal of Head Start is to improve students’ social competence and school readiness through commitments to a supportive learning environment for children and families. Head Start supports all aspects of a child’s development, including social, emotional, cognitive and physical growth. Head Start recognizes that children develop in the context of their family’s culture and language. We believe that fostering relationships with the community is important for families and children so that families are respected and their needs met.
