Mission

Recognizing that the parent is the child’s first teacher, the
Dothan City Schools Head Start Preschool program’s goal is
to involve the parent in planning, developing, and
implementing the curriculum to assure reinforcement at
home for the goals and objectives.

We believe:
-That children, staff and families must work cooperatively
to meet the needs of each child, while respecting family
values and heritage.
-Each family should be encouraged to strive for self-sufficiency.
-A partnership between families, communities, and Head
Start will create a network that will ensure the success of
each child.
-That creating school readiness goals for students will
allow them to fulfill their unique potential and prepare
them for kindergarten.
