CCAP, Inc. offers a Federally funded infant preschool child development program that provides free social and educational opportunities for income eligible children from ages 0-5, including children with special needs and pregnant women. The program is designed to prepare eligible children with essential skills needed to enter the public school system.
Head Start complies with all local, state and Federal regulations that outline clear educational performance, health and safety standards for the program.
Early Childhood Development & Health Services
The education services area enhances the child's individual mental processes and
skills, focusing in particular on developing conceptual and communication skills.
The classroom learning experiences encourage self-confidence and self-discipline,
developing the child's social and emotional health.
Head Start provides safe transportation for the children from home to the center and back again. Drivers are certified under the required laws to ensure they know and use safe driving habits. Children are also transported to various sites for field trips, which enhance the learning processes in the classroom setting.
Head Start partners with families to assist them in meeting their goals through community services and resources.
Head Start recognizes that the parent and family are the primary educators and are the principal influence in the child's growth and development.
