The Haak’u Learning Center offers a full five hours of activities, five days a week for children ages 3 to 5 years old. We also include a developmentally appropriate education curriculum and many opportunities for parent and family involvement. We emphasize on an individual approach with children and parents where family strengths and needs are assessed, and goals developed by parents and staff.

Children who are 3 to 5 years old are eligible for Head Start services. Pregnant women and children from birth to 3 years of age are eligible for Early Head Start services. Children and families who are homeless, in foster care, or receive TANF or SSI are also eligible for services. Eligibility is determined by Head Start program staff and some families may be eligible for services if they are determined to be at or below the federal poverty level. Some grantees enroll a percentage of children from families with incomes above the Poverty Guidelines as well.

Families are encouraged to apply.
