Home Visit Philosophy
We believe that a partnership between parents and staff best supports children in their Head Start experience. Home Visits create a natural link between the two most powerful influences in a child’s life, home and school. Home Visits also support the development and achievement of personal and family goals.

Parent’s Rights…
As a Head Start Parent, I have the right to:
- Always be treated with dignity and respect;
- Take part in major policy decisions affecting the planning and operation of the program;
- Be able to learn about the operation of the program, including the budget and level of education and experience required to fill various staff positions;
- Take part in planning and carrying out programs designed to increase my skills in areas of possible employment;
- Help develop adult programs that will improve daily living for me and my family;

- Be informed about all community resources concerned with health, education and the improvement of family life;
- Be welcomed in the classroom;
- Expect guidance for my child from Head Start teachers and staff to further his/her total individual development;
- Be informed regularly about my child's progress in Head Start; and
- Choose whether or not I participate without fear of endangering my child's right to be in the program.
