Little People's Head Start and Early Head Start are federally funded preschool and family support programs for low income families. The programs help parents and children to be self-reliant. Services provided by Little People's Head Start and Early Head Start include education, medical, dental, and nutrition.
Head Start provides early learning and school readiness for children 0-5 years of age. Children learn important social and emotional skills through supervised play with other children. This not only helps a child to develop social skills, it also promotes a healthy view of their personal identity.

Services
We believe all families have strengths and the best way to enhance a child's development is to build on their parents' strengths. Head Start's family services can help achieve this goal. Parent involvement is supported by providing family services that allow opportunities, information, and encouragement for each family member to be an active part of the Head Start experience.
The Head Start program must generate enough In-Kind from donations and volunteers to match our grant by 25%. There are many ways to help. Some of these items may include diapers, formula, craft/art supplies, dramatic play clothing, sand toys, books, and toys in good condition. Your donations may be counted as a tax credit (volunteer time excepted).
The mission of Little People's Head Start (LPHS) is to provide a healthy, supportive, and educational environment for children and their families so that all may reach their full potential. We envision that Little People's Head Start will be the premier organization in White Pine County from which families and their young children receive education, support, information, and services that lead to their self-sufficiency.
Early Head Start is a center-based program. Infants and toddlers are enrolled in classes of eight with two teachers per classroom. Teachers and support staff provide individualized care and comprehensive learning experiences. Classes meet four days a week from 7:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. This is a full-year program.
