Why Child Inc Head Start?
Child Inc, founded in 1972, is a nonprofit organization providing low-income families with comprehensive early childhood education, mental health services, disabilities services, nutritional services, medical and dental services, social services and parent engagement activities.
Child Inc Early Head Start and Head Start Centers are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) – the nation’s leading organization of early childhood professionals. NAEYC defines the gold standard for early childhood education and care. Schools who wish to be accredited by NAEYC undergo intense review. Only the best are awarded NAEYC accreditation. To earn NAEYC Accreditation, Child Inc underwent an extensive self-study process, measuring the program and its services against the ten NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and more than 400 related Accreditation Criteria.

Twenty plus years ago I found myself as a single mother of two daughters. Knowing that I wanted my girls to have access to a better future I turned to Child Inc. At Child Inc. they created a nurturing and stimulating environment.
It was there my daughters obtained the foundation that has led to lifelong learning. I had the peace of mind that knowing while I was working my girls were in safe care while being prepared for early education. The Child Inc. staff involved and helped me become a better parent through interaction with other single parents and access to other support resources.
I am proud to say one of my daughters is gainfully employed and my other daughter just recently graduated with honors from Texas State University and is currently enrolled in a graduate program.
My heartfelt thanks to Child Inc. and its staff for the work you do in our community.

“I want to thank the entire Child Inc/Grant staff for all you have done for my daughter & family. You all gave Tonee’ the best first two-years of school. Tonee’ and I enjoyed our two years at Grant. She learned & accomplished so many goals that we set for her. I feel so confident about her going on to Kindergarten. The teachers and staff members at Grant are nice, caring, helpful & well qualified to help and prepare our children for the future. I am and will recommend Child Inc/ Grant to all friends, family members, and other parents who are preparing for their child/children to attend Head Start.”
