Our Philosophy:

Northwest Head Start believes that children and families benefit from quality early childhood experiences.  Effective intervention and services can best be accomplished through high quality comprehensive services to children and families. Northwest works with community partners to address the unique needs of each child and their family.

Our Mission:​

Northwest Head Start seeks to assist children to achieve appropriate physical and developmental growth, increase self-confidence, and to improve and expand each child’s ability to think, reason, and communicate with others. Northwest Head Start also seeks to assist parents and families to improve their parenting skills, self-sufficiency, and the conditions in which they live, learn, and work.
