Head Start is a federal program for preschool children from low-income families. Children who attend Head Start participate in a variety of educational activities. They receive medical and dental care, have healthy meals and snacks, and enjoy playing indoors and outdoors in a safe setting. SNMCAC currently operates Head Start centers in Eddy and Chaves counties. Head Start is comprised of four major components: Education, Health, Parent Involvement, and Social Services. Federal performance standards ensure that every Head Start program provides the services necessary to meet the goals of each of the following components.
SNMCAC’s mission is to provide and coordinate services that promote individual and family stability and self-sufficiency which enhance communities in southeastern New Mexico.
