Head Start Guiding Principles

Head start is a safe place, emotionally, socially and physically for all children, families, and staff. Respect, trust , and good listening skills will be practiced in every relationship.

Children, families, and staff are always treated in an equitable manner. No one will be judged and everyone will be supported in their quest to be successful.

At Head Start, everyone belongs. All children, families, and staff are welcome and we respect each other by calling each other by name.

At Head Start, staff count on each other, and children and families rely on us. We must remember to “DWWSWWD” (Do What We Say We Will Do).

At Head Start, we are solution focused. We assume the best of ourselves and others.

At Head Start, we stay positive and remember to keep our sense of humor during times of stress.

We never forget that our mission is to be the best we can be for the children and families at HEAD START.
