Mission and Philosophy
To have pride, respect and responsibility for ourselves and our community: UMOJA means UNITY! The mission of UMOJA Head Start Academy is to promote unity within the program, staff, parents, children, families and the community. Head Start is foremost a family centered program.
In carrying out our mission, UMOJA Head Start Academy strives to empower children. We do this by helping them to meet the challenges in their present environment, as well as preparing them to meet responsibilities in school and life. This process involves the child’s entire family and UMOJA Head Start Academy’s community working as one to meet the family’s physical, mental, and nutritional needs.
