Our Head Start programs support children’s growth from birth to age 5 through early learning, development, health, and family well-being services. We prepare children to succeed in school and life by tailoring learning experiences to their needs and abilities, serving families from diverse backgrounds.
Located in Clay, Ottawa, Republic, and Washington counties, our free preschools provide full-day educational experiences for children aged 3-5, ensuring a smooth transition to local school districts.
Our free home visitation program offers vital support to income-eligible families with children aged 0-3 and expectant families across Clay, Cloud, Geary, Ottawa, Republic, and Washington Counties.
We collaborate with daycare providers across multiple counties to deliver exceptional education and development services, ensuring easy access to our programs.
The vision of the Little Learners Childhood Connections is to provide the very best environments for children, families, and staff to reach their full potential. As we practice excellence and integrity, we envision expansion of services, resources, and community partnerships.
