Head Start® offers parents opportunities and support for growth, so that they can identify their own strengths, needs and interests, and find their own solutions. The objective of Family Partnerships is to support parents as they identify and meet their own goals, nurture the development of their children in the context of their family and culture, and advocate for communities that are supportive of children and families of all cultures. The building of trusting, collaborative relationships between parents and staff allows them to share with and to learn from one another.

Head Start® serves families within the context of the community, and recognizes that many other agencies and groups work with the same families. The objective of Community Partnerships is to ensure that grantee and delegate agencies collaborate with partners in their communities, in order to provide the highest level of services to children and families, to foster the development of a continuum of family centered services, and to advocate for a community that shares responsibility for the healthy development of children and families of all cultures.

Fatherhood Initiative

Centro believes in the importance of supporting our family involvement and Literacy programs by providing a comprehensive fatherhood program that will strengthen and promote the educational, social and economic development of all family members. Our agency supports fathers in being integrally involved in all aspects of lives of their children.

Every Centro Head Start® Center welcomes and invites fathers to become involved in the activities, parent groups, parent-committees and in our overall Fatherhood program.
