The Samson Head Start program provides Early Intervention Advocacy in the lives of children and families living on-reserve, daily head start program services children from 2-6 years of age.  We provide a variety of programs for children and families servicing children ages 0-6 years of age.

Samson Head Start's mission is to cultivate relevant age appropriate activities based on the Nêhiyawêwin (Cree) Culture in Maskwacis.

Our approach is to encourage children's creativity and learning through hands-on discovery in a responsive and stimulating environment. We work to provide an environment where all children and families feel welcome and included.

Samson Head Start Program (SHS) is 1 of 5 Head Start sites in Maskwacis, and 1 of 17 Aboriginal Head Start Programs located in Treaty no. 6 Territory. 

Samson Head Start is under the Samson Cree Nation, and works in partnership with the Treaty no. 6 Alberta Head Starts On-Reserve programs to develop Aboriginal led curriculum.
