Friends of Children & Family - Lolly Wyatt Center, Garden City

Head Start is a Center-Based Preschool for children between the ages of 3-5. FOCAF provides high-quality early childhood experiences to prepare children for kindergarten and life-long learning. We believe that children are active learners with many ideas. An important part of our program is play. It is through play that children are able to learn about their world and gain confidence in their skills. Families are their child’s first and most important teacher. We work in partnership with parents to support their child’s development at home and at school. We support children as they transition into Kindergarten and support families in becoming advocates for their child’s education for years to come. We provide on-going learning opportunities for families through parentng classes, nutrition classes, health education, assistance in furthering education, and referrals/information to community resources and services.
