Program Philosophy

The Salt Lake Community Action Head Start Program (SLCAP Head Start) derives its philosophy and practice from well-founded research in child development, early childhood education and developmentally appropriate practices. The Head Start Performance Standards, Head Start Multicultural Principles, Developmentally Appropriate Practices, and the National Association of the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Accreditation Standards form the foundation for the SLCAP Head Start educational programming. Our overall goal is to increase each child’s everyday effectiveness in dealing with both his or her present environment and later responsibilities in school and life. Consistent with the Head Start Performance Standards, SLCAP Head Start will work towards ensuring that each child will:
  • Develop positive and nurturing relationship with adults and peers
  • Develop a sense of trust and security
  • Identify and solve problems
  • Express thoughts and feelings
  • Think critically
  • Increase self-confidence
  • Respect the feelings and rights of others
  • Use creativity and imagination
  • Develop literacy, numeracy, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making skills that form a foundation for school readiness.
