San Bernardino County celebrated the grand opening of a new preschool earlier this month in San Bernardino.
Board of Supervisors Vice Chair and Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr., San Bernardino County Assistant Executive Officer Diana Alexander, and Director of Policy and Public Relations for the San Bernardino County Housing Authority Nicole Beydler joined the Preschool Services Department (PSD) staff for a ceremonial ribbon cutting for the Whitney Young Head Start Preschool.
The Whitney Young site, located at 1755 W. Maple St., serves toddlers aged 24 to 36 months through the Early Head Start program, which emphasizes learning opportunities throughout the day to prepare them for the Head Start program.
“This site embodies the goals we have moving forward,” said PSD Interim Director Arlene Molina. “By the time our children go on to kindergarten, they will feel confident and prepared.”
Since 1965, Head Start has supported over 39 million children and their families nationwide, preparing them for success in school and beyond. The Head Start program serves children aged 3 to 5 years and focuses on early childhood education, health, nutrition and family well-being, creating positive change in communities nationwide.
