The mission of Long Island Head Start is to provide a comprehensive learning environment to children, respectful of their cultures; and to assist families in reaching self-sufficiency through the combined efforts of parents, community, and staff.

The Early Head Start Teacher I reports directly to the Early Head Start Center Supervisor and plans and implements individually age-appropriate care giving activities, curriculum and practices for infants and toddlers, ages 0-3 years. The teacher puts into practice theories and sound principles of early childhood education and child care and recognizes the parent as a full partner in the infant’s and toddler’s development. The Teacher embraces the inclusion of both typically developing infants and toddlers and those having special developmental needs.
