Acelero Learning MLK Center

Acelero Learning MLK Center is a Head Start and Early Head Start site in North Las Vegas serving children from birth to age 5, split into 0-3 and 3-5 groups. The program sits at 1555 W Carey Ave in the 89032 zip code and runs year-round, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. It is closed on Saturday and Sunday.

Early Head Start covers infants and toddlers while Head Start serves preschool-age children, both built around early education paired with health and family services. Families can expect meals and snacks provided during the day, along with health screenings that catch developmental or medical concerns early. The center also runs family support and parent engagement components, since Head Start programs nationally are designed to involve parents directly in their child's learning rather than treating care as pure drop-off. Outdoor play is part of the daily routine.

This location is noted as special needs friendly, with accommodations spanning early intervention services for children 0 to 5, developmental delay programs, inclusive classroom settings, special education support, therapy services, mental health counseling, and sensory-friendly programming. That is a wide range for a Head Start site and worth confirming directly with staff if your child has a specific diagnosis or IEP already in place, since availability of any given service can vary by classroom and by year.

Staff and materials are available in English and Spanish, which matters for families who want enrollment paperwork or daily communication in Spanish.

The program is listed as free, consistent with how Head Start and Early Head Start are funded nationally as no-cost programs for eligible families. Eligibility for Head Start is generally tied to income and other federal criteria, so parents should call ahead to confirm their child qualifies and to ask about the enrollment timeline. For questions about openings, eligibility, or the specific accommodations offered, call the center at (702) 642-0451. More information is also available at acelero.net.
