UCCA’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs provide high-quality Early Childhood Education and developmental services to eligible children and their families, including families with low-incomes and children with defined disabilities. Parents and guardians receive case management services and work with UCCA staff to develop, plan, and achieve personal, financial, educational, and/or employment goals. All enrolled children receive two meals and a snack each day, as well as hearing, vision, dental, and physical screenings upon enrollment. Follow-up services are provided as needed, and developmental assessments are conducted regularly. Additional services are available to children with disabilities or developmental delays.

​

UCCA participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Through CACFP, all children enrolled in our center-based Head Start and Early Head Start programs receive nutritious meals and snacks at no cost to families.

​Our participation ensures that every child has access to the healthy foods they need to learn, grow, and thrive — supporting our commitment to fostering lifelong wellness and positive eating habits.
