Pea Ridge Early Headstart

About Us

The goal of Northwest Arkansas Head Start is to improve child and family outcomes, including school readiness, by providing a continuum of comprehensive services that support children’s development and family functioning.
Head Start is a National Federally funded program which promotes school readiness by enhancing the social and cognitive development of children through the provision of educational, health, nutritional, social and other services to enrolled children and families.
Our staff is committed to developing quality programs and engaging parents in their children’s learning. We do this by helping them identify and progress toward their educational, literacy and employment goals.
We never forget our goal is not just to prepare children for kindergarten, but also to help those children and their families to be successful in life. This nation was built on the belief that we all, regardless of our circumstances at birth, at least deserve the chance to have a better future. In Head Start, we recognize parents are their children’s first and most influential teachers. Head Start’s success is based upon the creation of compassionate partnerships between Head Start staff and parents on behalf of their children. We work with families to remove barriers to their success and to deepen their ability to support their children.
