Committed to the development of the whole child – educationally, socially, and emotionally –

Child Start, through the Napa Solano Head Start program, has been serving children and families in Napa County since 1965 when the Head Start program was created and in Solano County since 1996 when the agency became the grantee for the Solano Head Start program.

Child Start was initially established to be the legal entity to oversee the Head Start programs in Napa and Solano counties. Incorporated as a 501(c) (3) in March of 2000, Child Start received tremendous support for our vision of establishing a direct service agency, focused solely on early learning initiatives for young children and their families. CSI operates as a single-purpose child and family services agency committed to comprehensive family and children’s services in the two-county region comprised of Napa and Solano. CSI has the unique opportunity to develop a new administrative and organizational design to expand in mission, scope, quantity and quality child development services for young vulnerable children and their families.
