Building Brighter Futures
Our Head Start Preschool Program provides low to no-cost high quality child care and early learning for low-income families. Serving children from birth to 5 years old, we ensure that all our kids are prepared for a lifetime of learning with the tools and support they need to thrive.
We use a holistic approach to address the needs of the entire household. Teachers, parents, center directors, and specialists collaborate on a regular basis to make sure every child receives the individual support they need to keep learning and growing. YMCA of the East Bay maintains strong partnerships with school districts, mental health support services, and community organizations so we can connect kids and families to critical services and support where needed.
