Education
PACE Education is more than just a preschool program—we provide comprehensive early childhood education programs that incorporate mental health, nutrition, and social services.
As a delegate agency of the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE), we serve hundreds of students and their families every year through our free early childhood education programs.
Our Head Start and Early Head Start programs provide a strong foundation for success in school and serve low-income children aged 0-5 years and expectant families. We also serve families experiencing homelessness, children in foster care, and children with disabilities. Open five days a week, our education sites offer full-day and part-day programs running from August to June for Head Start and July to June for Early Head Start.
Our Services
At PACE, your child gets ready for kindergarten through:
- Activities that help prepare them to learn, connect with other kids, understand their feelings, and control their bodies
- Developing language and reading skills
- Practicing being a good citizen, playing fair and accepting others
- Playing in a safe indoor and outdoor educational setting
- Taking part in planning their daily activities
Head Start helps get your child ready for school with educational activities that fit with your culture and language. Your child will learn in the way that is best for them.
Our staff works with you to create family goals and make a plan to meet those goals. We also help you find more resources in your community.
Eating well fuels growing minds and bodies! We provide healthy meals and snacks, and evaluate each student’s nutritional needs. We also work with our families to encourage healthy choices and provide resources for home.
Head Start relies on family and community members to strengthen its programs. Our Parent Policy Council serves as a decision and policy making body for our Head Start program in conjunction with LA County Office of Education’s Board of Education.
We screen every child to understand their unique needs. Children with special needs are included in all activities, and our staff help connect families to the resources that can best support their children.
