Directions

Give your address and we will plan a route to us:


Better Beginnings
Better Beginnings is Arkansas's Quality Rating Improvement System for child care providers. Better Beginnings is a three-tiered building block system designed to assess the quality of early care and education programs and youth development programs.

Green Forest

At the Northwest Arkansas Green Forest Head Start Center every child has an equal opportunity to enroll and participate in our program.  We have been in our community for over 40 years and continue to have a good, long-standing relationship with the community and its citizens. 

Head Start children are enrolled from a diverse background.  Our equally diverse staff accommodates children of several ethnicities and races. We maintain full enrollment each year through the support of our community, word of mouth referrals, and our history of success.  Many families choose to send their child to Green Forest Head Start because they themselves (or friends and family) attended here. We are honored to have  served and educated multiple generations of children and their families throughout the years.

This year one of our focuses is transitioning children into kindergarten.  We want and strive for every child to be socially well adjusted and totally prepared when it is time for the first school day in kindergarten.  We truly want our children to have a strong "Head Start" on that big day.

Thank you for your interest in the Green Forest Head Start Center.  If you have any questions, feel free to call us using the information on the top left of your screen.  Lunch menus are available in English and Spanish at the top right of this screen.  Check back often as we will be updating our scrapbook photos throughout the year as well.

Door Entry Security

kes_02.jpgOur Keyless Entry System limits access to our Head Start centers by allowing entry only to authorized staff and families. Unique ID codes are assigned to each person. Codes may be disabled at any time providing a safe, secure environment for children and peace of mind for parents. Our system keeps a live record of who enters our buildings allowing us to monitor building access in real time or by printing a daily log. Each ID code may also be placed on a restricted list directly from our center computer.
