Every child deserves the best start in life.

   Ways to apply

Get your child off on the right foot with the OSU Child Development Center, which provides a high-quality preschool program for Head Start and tuition paying families in the community.

We help children explore their world through purposeful, developmentally appropriate play, which allows them to develop skills and potential for future learning. We have three bright and accessible classrooms, and each has an observation room for parents to watch their child at work and play. Children spend time every day in a fenced, supervised play yard for outdoor activities.

We welcome enrollment of children with special developmental needs, seek to support those who are learning English and involve families who have a very low income through our Oregon Head Start Prekindergarten Program. All are welcome!

Head Start is a program of the United States Department of Health and Human Services that provides comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families

We are licensed and accredited
