San Luis Head Start

San Luis Head Start, part of the Merced County Office of Education (MCOE), provides specialized preschool programming for children ages 2 to 5. The program is designed to support a diverse student population, specifically focusing on learners with unique needs, including language-based learning disabilities and twice-exceptional (2e) students. By implementing specialized programs and therapeutic methodologies, the school ensures that early intervention and tailored support are available to meet each child's developmental milestones.

The program emphasizes individualized attention through low student-teacher ratios and a commitment to developmental support. MCOE integrates various therapeutic services and individualized education programs (IEPs) to address specific learning challenges. Beyond the classroom, the organization offers unique opportunities such as the Wired Café, which serves as a training facility for special education students to build vocational and social skills in a supportive community environment.

San Luis Head Start fosters a collaborative atmosphere through strong partnerships with families, ensuring that support extends from the classroom to the home. While tuition pricing is available upon request, the program is dedicated to creating inclusive opportunities that empower every child to thrive both academically and socially within the Los Banos community.
