Sarpy County/ESU #3 Head Start

Sarpy County/ESU #3 Head Start and Early Head Start (SCHS) provides essential early intervention services for children from birth to age five. The program specifically supports children facing developmental delays and language-based learning disabilities, utilizing evidence-based methodologies to address unique learning needs. By focusing on early identification and support, SCHS helps build a strong foundation for long-term academic and social success.

The program is designed around a nurturing, low student-to-teacher ratio that allows for personalized attention and the implementation of individualized approaches. Beyond the classroom, SCHS emphasizes therapeutic services and developmental support, ensuring that each child's specific needs are met within a structured and caring environment. The curriculum is tailored to foster both academic achievement and social-emotional growth.

A core pillar of the SCHS mission is strengthening family engagement, working closely with parents to foster supportive home environments conducive to learning. Through community involvement, partnerships, and a holistic approach to education, the program creates a robust support network for both the child and the family.
