Early Childhood Services

The UW Oshkosh Head Start program offers FREE pre-school programs for eligible families. Children’ who receive an early childhood education are more liely to succeed in school. That’s why Head Start gives kids ages three to five the learning and social skills they need to be ready to start school.

Support for the whole family 

Services to families ensure that all members of the family, not just the enrolled child, are able to learn, grow and develop as they desire. Families are encouraged to participate in activities directly with their children and to set and attain their own goals as well.
