The Modesto City Schools Healthy Start Program provides a variety of school and community outreach services. It is a school-based family resource program that serves all students and families living within the Modesto City Schools attendance areas.

The Healthy Start school readiness program targets those families with young children that are not currently enrolled in any type of pre-school, day-care or head start program. Through this program parents learn that all children are "born to learn" and that parents play the most important role in their children's education. Parents also learn best by those they love. Ultimately parents discover and understand the concept "Parents as Teachers" begins in the home.

Within Modesto City Schools, there are five regional Healthy Start Resource Centers that serve District families.
