PACE Education

PACE Education’s Head Start and Early Head Start program serves low-income children (age: birth – 5 years) and their families. And it’s free!  The program offers early childhood education and social services that help children get ready for success in school.  Head Start also provides services to families and children who are homeless or in foster care, and to children with disabilities.   Open five days a week, from September through June, our education sites offer full-day and part-day programs.  

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

Our Services

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. 

School readiness begins with health.  We provide services to promote health, behavioral health, and safety for children and families.  This includes ensuring all enrolled children have timely immunizations and screenings for cognitive development, basic health, hearing, vision, and dental health.

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.
