Green Bay Public Schools Head Start program serves 336 children aged three to five across two district locations: the Head Start Learning Center on Bellevue Street, adjacent to the East River Trail, and Jefferson Head Start, nestled in a well-established neighborhood north of Velp Avenue and west of the
Fox River.
Each site features eight Head Start classrooms, supported by dedicated staff who assist children and their families through home visits and collaborations with the district's 4K and Early Childhood teams. Students attend either half-day or full-day programs, Monday through Thursday. Despite being spread across two sites, Head Start operates as a unified program, led by the principals of both buildings.
Classroom instruction is guided by the Creative Curriculum and assessed using Teaching Strategies Gold. As a Pyramid Model Implementation site, the program emphasizes fostering social-emotional development alongside academic growth. The overarching mission of Head Start is to enhance school readiness for children from low-income families, nurturing their comprehensive development.
Key services include:
Early Learning: Providing quality care and education to prepare children for academic success.
Health: Ensuring children meet developmental milestones and access essential nutrition.
Family Well-Being: Supporting families in achieving their goals and fostering a strong, supportive network.
Head Start's dedicated team-comprising teachers, paraprofessionals, monitors, home visitors, coordinators, social emotional specialists, and educational service coaches-collaborates to achieve these goals and ensure children and families thrive.
