At Community Action of South Mississippi, we walk alongside children, seniors, and families every day.

This is community in action!

Head Start and Early Head Start help young children and families build a solid foundation for the future. We provide early education, healthy meals, and health checks for children from birth through age five, including those with special needs.

It is a team effort, focused on growing skills, confidence, and a love for learning before kindergarten ever starts.
