A Head Start Children's Centres are small, beautiful and homely, providing excellent care and an outstanding educational program that prepares children for school and life. A Head Start provides a very home like environment for children, as it remains small and is able to be flexible in meeting the needs of the children who attend.
The staff genuinely love and enjoy the children and it is touching to watch them interact. The caring and professional nature of the educators, as well as the excellent curriculum and beautiful learning environment have been above and beyond for our three children. We have been so impressed by the low turnover of staff and delighted to see many of the same lovely faces over the 7 years our family has been a part of the A Head Start family.
