Giving children the head start they deserve.

At home or in one of our centers, Head Start helps pregnant mothers and children up to age 5 prepare for success in school and beyond.

Greater Louisville Head Start promotes children’s development through services that support early learning, health, and family well-being while engaging parents as partners every step of the way.

Greater Louisville Head Start is a partnership between Family & Children’s Place, Community Coordinated Child Care (4C), and Shine Early Learning.
