My Project

We are a federally funded Head Start program that serves income eligible children ages 3 to 5. We focus on the "whole child" in terms of education, social emotional health and physical health. We believe that movement and play is an important way to help support our student's overall health. The materials requested will help ensure that all children have an opportunity to use and enjoy equipment that can be used both indoors and outdoors. The versatility of the materials, such as the parachute, will support the development of our students from the youngest to the oldest.
