Empowering Children and Strengthening Families in Morris County
At Head Start Community Program of Morris County, we are committed to unlocking the potential of every child by providing high-quality early childhood education and family support—at no cost to eligible families. As a federally funded community initiative, our mission is to narrow the opportunity gap and build a strong foundation for children from 18 months through 5 years old. We focus on the complete development of each child, nurturing their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical well-being. Our dedicated team of educators creates a safe, inclusive, and encouraging space where young learners build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love for learning. We offer three flexible program pathways tailored to meet your family's unique needs: Early Head Start (18 Months – 3 Years): Safe, stimulating classroom environments designed to foster early communication, social interaction, and healthy emotional development. Head Start Preschool (3 – 5 Years): Interactive, play-integrated pre-K learning that equips children with essential literacy, early math, and problem-solving skills for kindergarten success. Home-Based Services: One-on-one family guidance and early learning tools delivered right to your doorstep, empowering parents as their child's primary educators. Beyond academic readiness, our program provides a holistic support system for the entire household, including nutritious daily meals, health screenings, and connection to vital community resources. Give your child the best possible start. Explore how Head Start Community Program of Morris County can support your family's journey today.
