I have a 3 year old and while we're on the CDC wait list for their preschool program, thought I'd ask if anyone recommends the Head Start off base 

I would recommend the Little School before Head Start 

Head Start; another program that needs to go away..... 

I agree we need to flush head start! 

(head start)
wow, that bad huh? In your opinion, Why? 

Don't know about the 29 palms one but all the other head start programs I have seen just seem to be poorly run government funded operations. That dont produce much results. I personally would avoid them at all cost. I also have a family member who works for head start. I'm just not impressed. 

Or you could, spend time with your child, read books, do art projects, join play groups, nah, never mind, that's too much to work... 

i like the head start my 4yr old go there it is a good school.

It would appear that you are a product of their program!!! Just guessing though!!!!! 

I had my oldest in the Head Start in JT because the 29 was full, I hated the drive 4 days a week. At first my daughter was excited to be in school, but after a few weeks it seemed to be too many days a week for her. After we moved we found a private pre-k only 2 half days/ week.

I have only heard good things from more than one person. 

+1 Little School - we're back home, and we miss that school. Haven't been able to find anything comparable in terms of the caring environment, the education/instruction, etc.. Trying another place in a couple weeks. 

i have a few friends who are teachers at the head start in 29. there is nothing wrong with that school. know many people who send their kids there. little school is also a good place. one is government funded the other is not 

I have had tried the 29 Palms Head Start, Little School, Knott's Sky and Palm Vista pre-k. I liked all of them but one school lost my child when she was 3.
