Head Start Programs
PFRI’s Bronx Head Start Program helps children gain the skills and confidence necessary to prepare for and to succeed in school. The Head Start Center provides a comprehensive, center-based, full-day child and family development program for low-income families with children ages 2.9 to 5 years who reside in the Bronx neighborhood of Morrisania in New York City.
Families receive education and support so that they may serve as their child’s first teacher. A team of administrators, family services, nutrition, health, and education staff work together to teach children how to be independent learners, to develop appropriate cognitive, social-emotional, communicative and adaptive skills needed for them to succeed in grade school.
The Bronx Head Start program is located at
1423 Prospect Avenue, Bronx NY 10459.
Our telephone number is 718-991-5590.
​
We also have a Head Start Program in Puerto Rico.
