About Us

Our Mission
Seattle Public Schools Head Start educates and supports young children and their families to enhance their potential for success as life-long learners!

Head Start is a federally funded child development program for low-income children and their families. The Head Start programs in Seattle Public Schools serve three- and four-year-old children, offering half-day and full-day programs at various schools in the district. At Roxhill We currently hold one AM Session and two PM sessions. Am runs from 8:00- 11:45 and the Pm from 1:00-4:45.

Services

The Head Start services include:

  • A literacy-based early childhood education program
  • An individual education plan for each child
  • Door-to-door transportation (half-day programs only)
  • Programs for students with special needs and disabilities
  • Interpreter support for children with limited English skills
  • Meals and/or snacks
