Bushwick United Headstart, a branch of the Bushwick United Housing Development Fund Corporation, offers a comprehensive preschool program and family-focused workshops. Founded in the late 1970s by community activists Jose Gonzalez and Aida Caraballo, the organization is guided by their leadership today. The main objective is to give children a solid foundation for their educational journey by providing a nurturing environment and preparing them for future schooling.
With a focus on delivering Head Start and daycare programs through NYC’s EarlyLearn and Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) initiatives, Bushwick United Headstart serves over 650 students and families across 8 sites. The integration of special education services ensures that all students can actively participate in classroom activities while receiving tailored support for their individual needs. Collaborations with external agencies enable the provision of speech, occupational, and physical therapy, as well as counseling for students with diagnosed disabilities.
