RECAP/Western Orange County Head Start (Head Start) is a federally funded program for preschool children from low-income families aged three to five years. Our aim and ultimately our mission is to prepare children for success in school through our comprehensive family program.

HSmtwnWhen a child is first enrolled they have any health and developmental concerns addressed parents and their child are then linked to an ongoing source of continuous and accessible care. With any concern met a child is able to take advantage of our safe nurturing engaging and enjoyable learning environment. The varied experiences provided by the program supports the physical social emotional and cognitive development of each child. They are able to gain the awareness skills and confidence necessary to succeed in their present environment and to deal with later responsibilities in school and in life. Each child is treated as an individual in an inclusive community that values respects and responds to diversity.
