childcarepreschoolhead start
Glenview Head Start / State Preschool at Glen View is a CCLD-licensed, federally-funded Head Start program at 480 W 8th St in Gilroy with capacity for 43 children. It operates a no-cost or low-cost model for income-qualifying families, emphasizing school readiness through a structured curriculum while providing wraparound family support including healthcare, mental health, and nutrition services—a comprehensive public-health approach beyond typical commercial childcare.
