West Virginia Head Start Association, Inc.

“Speaking with one voice for West Virginia’s young children and families”

We believe the answers to challenges many West Virginia families face can be found within. Head Start works with the family unit as a whole—empowering families to strive for health, happiness, and security by connecting them to the resources they may need. Each person comes to Head Start with a unique story and the potential to overcome their hurdles; our programs provide education, support, and structure for children and parents, by collaborating with organizations that will help families thrive.

West Virginia Head Start provides children with essential educational resources, including school readiness, so that every child is awarded an opportunity to learn. WVHSA programs help parents grow as individuals, professionally and within their families, through training and leadership opportunities. Head Start offers these services with the ultimate goal of providing the opportunity for success to each participating family.
