MVCDC, Head Start are 60!
Over the last 60 years, Head Start has touched over 40 million children!
MVCDC is proud to have been part of this work from the start. Since 1965, we’ve been privileged to help ensure that young children are more ready for kindergarten, and we’ve also supported their families in escaping poverty.
Learn about MVCDC’s mission.
Head Start and MVCDC go beyond just providing early learning and child care. Our commitment is to children and their families – because all parents and caregivers want the best for their children.
MVCDC and Head Start celebrated 60 years of lifting up children and families with more than 200 supporters at an unforgettable June 2025 event. The celebration highlighted the dedication of Head Start staff, our enduring mission, and we also shared inspiring personal stories — including reflections from Head Start alum and beloved Dayton pediatrician Dr. Alonzo Patterson III.
Watch as we honor six decades of impact, capped off with a joyful birthday tribute.
