WEST HARLEM HEAD START & FAMILY CHILD CARE

The mission of  West Harlem Head Start is to provide high quality comprehensive and inclusive child and family services. Families are empowered to be advocates for themselves and their children, to be positive role models and to become productive members of society. Our philosophy stems from the belief that a child’s learning experiences during her/his preschool years form the foundation of her/his life success. WHCO is committed to utilizing all available resources to educate children and to providing a safe, nurturing, literacy-rich learning environment that facilitates children’s positive developmental and social growth. We provide every opportunity for families to fully participate in the education and development of their children. Through these efforts, West Harlem Community Organization Head Start hopes to contribute to ending the cycle of poverty that has existed for too long and to restore its communities to health, happiness, and prosperity.
