Head Start Schools

Program Overview

Our Head Start program promotes school readiness of children ages birth to five by supporting the development of the whole child. Our programs seeks to enrich the lives of our families while strengthening self-sufficiency. Head Start helps all children succeed, supporting children’s growth and development in a positive learning environment. We offer services to meet the special needs of children with disabilities. Services are also available to infants and toddlers at selected sites.

We take a comprehensive approach to meeting the needs of young children. There are four major components to Head Start:

Education: Providing a variety of learning experiences to help children grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally.

Health: Providing health services such as immunizations, dental, medical, and nutritional services, such as healthy meals and snacks; mental health services and early identification of health problems. We also provide safe indoor and outdoor environment for play. 

Parent Involvement: Involving parents in the planning and implementation of activities. Parents serve on policy councils and committees that make administrative decisions; participate in classes and workshops on child development; and volunteer in the program.

Social Services: Provide outreach to families to determine what services they need.

My name is Nequi Cargile, Site Administrator at Millville Head Start Early Learning Academy. My primary role is to oversee the daily operations. I have 20 years experience in Early Childhood Education. Having taught kindergarten, first grade, and second grade and being a former Head Start parent. I have a passion for teaching children. We have a faculty that is dedicated to ensuring that your child gets the right head start. My passion is seeing the excitement in children's eyes as they're learning a new concept or skill. Head Start really focuses on a child's physical, social, emotional needs, as well as academics. When you focus on the whole child, then you are setting the child up for success!
