UW Oshkosh Head Start welcomes children and families from all races, religions, and cultural and ethnic groups, family compositions and with all degrees of abilities. We recognize the heritage of each family and will support them as they desire. We will also celebrate and appreciate the uniqueness of each individual while assisting them to gain competence, security and self-esteem in their place in the world.
