Head Start Program

"100 years from now no one will know (or care) what kind of car you drove, how big a house you lived in, how much money you made, or how many 'toys' you owned. However, if you have made a difference in the life of one child, you will have changed the world."

Our Mission

Piedmont Community Actions Head Start is a non-profit agency that serves approximately 510 low-income children in Cherokee and Spartanburg counties. Our mission is to prepare our three and four-year-olds to enter kindergarten by helping them acquire the knowledge, attitude, and confidence needed to be academically competitive from the start. This will increase their chance of success in the public schools which, in turn, will ultimately help break the circle of poverty many families are trapped in.
