A calm, supportive first step into school readiness.
The Kiryas Joel Municipal Local Development Corp. (KJMLDC) Head Start and Early Head Start Program provides a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood experience that supports school readiness, healthy development, and strong family engagement.
In a safe and nurturing environment, children receive individualized, developmentally appropriate learning experiences while families are supported as active partners in their child’s growth. Through collaboration with families, community resources, and dedicated professionals in education, health, nutrition, and mental health, our program promotes each child’s social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development.
