The Head Start Program provides a comprehensive preschool education that focuses on school readiness skills in all developmental areas including social/emotional, physical, communication, and problem solving ensuring children will have all the necessary skills and abilities required for their transition into kindergarten.
“Our developmentally appropriate programming provides hands-on, play-based experiences, concentrating on the whole child. Head Start helps children get ready to succeed in school and life,” says Jennifer Geissman, Education Specialist at Westosha Head Start. High-quality learning experiences, tailored to each child’s current needs and abilities, are provided by our DPI licensed teachers, and provided with our individualized and culturally appropriate programming are nutritious meals and snacks and all school supplies. Since your child does not have to be potty trained to attend, teachers work closely with families to develop strategies to help their child become potty-trained.
