Virtual learning now offered in San Fernando Valley

Applications for children age 0 to 5 are being accepted across Child Care Resource Center’s 26 Head Start locations, including the new facility opened at 808 W. Newgrove St. in Lancaster.

Due to the pandemic restrictions, children enrolled in Head Start and Early Head Start will participate in a virtual program. We plan to welcome families in to our physical sites as soon as state and local leaders declare it safe to resume normal operations.

Until then, families can continue receiving high quality programming complete with weekly learning and activity kits to take home, grab and go meals at select locations, access to diapers and wipes, and comprehensive services.

Teacher’s in our award-winning CCRC Head Start program hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development or a related field and provide support for your child’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive growth and development.

CCRC has been providing quality Head Start preschool for children ages 3 and 4 across the San Fernando Valley for over 20 years and expanded our services in 2009 to offer Early Head Start to Antelope Valley children ages 0-3.

Head Start professionals assist parents and children with education and early childhood development, medical, dental & mental health, nutrition, and parent involvement.

Families enrolled with Head Start benefit from our CCRC Head Start nutrition program, which provides meals through the Child and Adult Care Food Program.

Enrolling in CCRC Head Start also includes health, nutrition, and family services, as well as assistance with mental health challenges and other disabilities for children and families.

To be eligible for CCRC's Head Start program, families must qualify under the Federal Income Poverty guidelines. Income requirements may be waived for special circumstance or disability, but must not exceed a specific amount.

Our Head Start staff is happy to answer any questions you may have. You can reach us at (818)717-4515 or by email.
