PSD Hesperia Head Start is a CCLD-licensed, Grade A-rated facility operated by San Bernardino County Probation and Social Services, serving children ages 3–4 in Hesperia. As the largest Head Start site in the region with capacity for 105 children, it combines comprehensive federal Head Start programming with wraparound services including health screenings, nutrition support, family services, and disabilities accommodations. Subsidized or free care for income-qualifying families removes significant financial barriers, while the county's institutional oversight across 39 sites ensures professional operational standards. The program's part-day schedule and strict income eligibility requirements are typical Head Start limitations that may not suit all families, and the lack of public parent reviews limits independent verification of the parent experience.
