In Oakland, almost 20 percent of young children in the Head Start program face housing insecurity. This challenge hinders families' ability to consistently and punctually attend the preschool program, leading some to withdraw. To address this, the city has allocated half a million dollars to a mobile classroom initiative aimed at reaching these children.

City of Oakland Head Start & Early Head Start Centers opened their doors for in-person on September 1, 2021! All local health and CDC guidelines are being followed to ensure the safety & highest level care for children and staff.

Please contact our office at 510-238-3165 for more information on eligibility and enrollment.

Head Start is hosting a vaccine clinic at our Downtown and East Oakland Senior Centers on Tuesday, June 29th!
