About this preschool

Volunteers of America of Los Angeles (VOALA) operates a Head Start/Early Head Start program for children birth to five, including center-based, home-based, and prenatal options. The program emphasizes child-focused education, family engagement, and comprehensive services including health, nutrition, and disabilities services.

Philosophy
Head Start/Early Head Start are child-focused birth to five programs with an overall goal of increasing each child's everyday effectiveness in dealing with both the present environment and future responsibilities of school and life. The process takes into account connections between social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Services respect that children develop within their family culture and treat parents as primary educators and nurturers. VOALA refrains from any religious instruction and strives to be inclusive of all cultures.
