Acelero Learning Henderson Center

Acelero Learning Henderson Center, at 231 Bailey Island Dr in Henderson, provides Head Start and Early Head Start programming for children ages 0 to 5, covering infant care, toddler care, and preschool education under federally backed early learning programs. It also offers school readiness programs and family support services, extending beyond just child care to work with parents directly.

Nutritional meals, health screenings, parent engagement programs, and development assessments are part of the standard offering, which is typical of Head Start centers, since the program is built around child development monitoring and family wellbeing, not just supervised care during the day.

Hours run Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., closed on weekends, and the center operates year round. As a Head Start and Early Head Start provider, cost is listed as free, consistent with how these federally funded programs are typically structured for eligible families, though eligibility requirements for Head Start programs generally involve income guidelines that are not detailed in this listing.

On the special needs side, Acelero lists an extensive set of supports: early intervention for ages 0 to 5, autism early intervention, developmental delay programs, inclusive programs, sensory-friendly programs, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and behavioral therapy through ABA. That is a substantial level of built-in support for a center serving infants and toddlers, and it suggests the center is set up to work with children who have identified developmental needs alongside those who do not.

Families interested in enrolling, or wanting to confirm income eligibility and enrollment requirements for Head Start or Early Head Start, should call (702) 566-1048 directly, since specific eligibility criteria and enrollment windows are not included in this listing. The center's website, acelero.net, may also have broader information about the Head Start network beyond this specific Henderson location. Given that the program covers infant care through preschool within one center, it is also worth asking whether a child can stay with the same center as they age from the infant program into toddler care and then preschool, rather than needing to transfer partway through.
