The Head Start Program is an early childhood education program designed to foster the development of preschool aged children and to promote their school readiness. Our classrooms offer age-appropriate activities to support each child’s development for language, literacy, mathematics, social-emotional, physical, cognitive, science, social studies and creative arts. Our program also works to ensure that children are up-to-date on a regular schedule of preventative medical and dental care, that our classrooms provide cultural enrichment, support parent involvement, and provide families with connections to resources and services they need.
We have classrooms in Siletz, Lincoln City, Salem and Portland. Classrooms operate for 3 ½ hours per day, Monday – Thursday, and are typically in session September – May. Children must be either age 3 or 4 years to enroll.

We give a preference for enrollment to children who are Native American, but you do not have to be Native American in order to attend our Head Start program.
Our program offers round-trip transportation, two meals each class day, structured learning activities to support children’s school readiness skills, health screenings, family events, parent training, and services to support family success.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
