Our Vision

To provide a program where pre-school age children are offered an early educational experience that will build the foundation to become a lifelong learner.

Our Mission

The mission of our Muscogee (Creek) Nation Head Start Program is to provide children and families a Comprehensive Early Childhood experience with parental, staff, community, and tribal involvement that will build the foundation for positive lifetime growth and development.

Our Values and Beliefs

The Head Start Program is based on the premise that 3-5 year old children from income-eligible families can benefit from a social and educational program. The overall goal of Head Start is to bring about a greater degree of social competence in children who may be economically or educationally disadvantaged. Head Start’s approach is based on the philosophy that a child can benefit most from a comprehensive interdisciplinary program to foster development and remedy problems through the involvement of the child’s entire family and the community.

Education
We value the education of our children; therefore, we create a learning environment that enhances children’s abilities to succeed in school and later in life.
Family Services
We believe that services are family-centered; therefore, we value that children develop in the context of their family and culture, and parents are respected as the primary educators of their child.
Mvskoke Language
We value the Mvskoke language; therefore, we believe in efforts to preserve and teach with an emphasis on retaining the Mvskoke language that children will pass along to future generations.
Health
We empower children, and those involved with Head Start; therefore, we value healthy lifestyles, with an emphasis on developing self-care and wellness choices for life.
Nutrition
We believe that providing good nutrition is important in developing healthy nutrition habits; therefore, we value that staff and families working together will help in identifying children’s nutritional needs, cultural preferences, and dietary needs.
Transportation
We value the opportunity to provide safe transportation to our Head Start children and families.
