Philosophy

At EICAP's Head Start, we make a place where children and families can grow together by providing a safe and healthy environment.

  • We provide family support to parents with the resources they need to succeed at the most important job there is: raising healthy, responsible, productive and joyous children.
  • We support the parent's role as the principle influence on their child's development and education.
  • We increase children's competence in language, literacy, mathematics, science, creative arts, learning strategies, physical health, and social/emotional development.
  • We validate the distinct personality and learning style of each child.
  • We create an environment of trust, respect, acceptance, diversity and inclusion.
