Attention South County Head Start families: Encompass has partnered with Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) to temporarily operate our early child development programs at several Encompass Head Start Watsonville sites. This partnership ensures that children can continue to benefit from education and nutrition services during the federal government shutdown and affected teachers and assistants will have access to employment opportunities.

Parents of enrolled Head Start and Early Head Start programs are encouraged to call the PVUSD Child Development Department at 831-786-8270 for more information on locations and registration.

This effort reflects Encompass and PVUSD’s shared mission to support Santa Cruz County children. While this collaboration helps bridge services during the federal shutdown, it is important to clarify that PVUSD is not taking over Head Start operations, nor is Encompass relinquishing its federal grant. Encompass will continue advocating for the release of federal funding so it can reopen classrooms and restore early education services as soon as possible.
