About Gainesville Head Start

Head Start programs prepare America’s most vulnerable young children to succeed in school and in life beyond school. To achieve this, Head Start programs deliver services to children and families in core areas of early learning, health, and family well-being while engaging parents as partners every step of the way.

The Gainesville Head Start program serves 70 students who are 3- and 4-years-old and who qualify based on federal poverty guidelines.  Families who receive public assistance (TANF, SSI, or SNAP), and those with children in foster care or children who are homeless, also qualify regardless of income.

Welcome to GISD Head Start! I am super excited and honored to be the Head Start Principal. My goal is to get to know every family and work with families and the community to help all students be successful. I look forward to meeting everyone and carrying on great traditions that have already been established at Gainesville Head Start and I am excited to continue serving students in GISD! I am here to meet the needs of our students and families, so please call or email me.
