Head Start
Head Start is committed to delivering services to families with young children in the spirit of family focus, self worth, and shared decision making in response to community need.
Daily Schedule and Routine
The daily schedule and routine form the basic structure of the preschool day. Having a consistent schedule is important to help young children trust, feel more secure, and predict the sequence of events that will occur during their day. The daily schedule also helps give children a sense of time.
