Staten Island Head Start

The Staten Island Head Start program was one of the first community agencies to deliver Head Start services in New York City. President Lyndon B. Johnson commented on the success of our Staten Island Head Start program during remarks in a Rose Garden speech on August 31, 1965. As the President outlined his plans to make Head Start a continuing part of the educational foundation of needy children, he talked about the difference our program’s volunteers made in the life of one child.

Providing comprehensive and high-quality services to the community, Staten Island Head Start is comprised of four facilities: 44 Dongan Hills Avenue, 10 Kingsley Place, 16 Osgood Ave and 166 Lockman Ave.

Staten Island Head Start is providing early childhood services to families within the catchment areas of Port Richmond, West Brighton, New Brighton, St. George, Tompkinsville, Stapelton, Rosebank, Clifton, South Beach, Midland Beach and Dongan Hills.
