PICA offers comprehensive services to help children and families reach their full potential.

Early Childhood Education and School Readiness
PICA prepares children to succeed in school! Our individualized approach helps your child learn in the way he/she learns best and at his/her own pace.

Health and Mental Wellness Services
Preventive health services are central to PICA Head Start’s comprehensive support for families. During enrollment, families work with PICA staff and community partners to ensure they have an ongoing accessible source of health care. PICA assists the family in making use of all available health resources and insurance. 

Dental Services
Children’s Dental Services is a non-profit program that provides complete dental services to children enrolled at PICA, their siblings and other low-income children and pregnant women in the community. Through these clinics, PICA is able to provide easy access to the dental examinations and treatments required by Head Start.

Nutrition Services
To ensure that your children are healthy and well nourished, PICA provides a healthy breakfast, lunch and snack each day through the Child and Adult Care Food Program. PICA prepares all children’s meals at our centers and serves nutritious food that reflects the diverse cultures represented in our programs.

Disability Services and Early Childhood Special Education
At least 10% of Head Start enrollment opportunities are made available to children with disabilities. In addition, local school districts provide Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) services to Head Start and EHS children.

Transportation Services
PICA provides door-to-door transportation to and from our centers each day for your child as well as transportation for you to attend special parent events and activities.

Social Services and Family Support
As the parent of an enrolled child, you will work with PICA to assess your family’s strengths and set goals for your family. With PICA’s help, you can learn how to achieve your goals, become involved in your children’s education and contribute to your community!
