About Ralph Bunche Center

Ralph Bunche Center, also known as Cherokee County Headstart Pre-K Center is home of many pre-school age children. We are a unique school made up of mostly Headstart classes, one Georgia Pre-K class, and a preschool special needs class.

Within our Head Start program we are able to provide a range of individualized services in the areas of education and early childhood development; medical, dental, and mental health; nutrition; and parent involvement.

All of our teachers have on thing on their mind; providing your pre-schooler with the best head start to education possible. For more information, or to enroll your child into our program, please contact us at 770-479-2533.

Bright from the Start Centers of Distinction Recognition

The Center of Distinction certificate is awarded to child care centers that meet a high level of quality childcare for children 0-4 years old. Center of Distinction was awarded for the care and education being provided in their infant, toddler and preschool classes.

The observation teams use the Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale, Revised Edition and the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale, Revised Edition, both written by Thelma Harms, Debby Cryer and Richard M. Clifford to assess center-based programs.

The child care learning center's average score from the observation is used to determine if a child care learning center meets the state's criteria for the Center of Distinction or Center of Recognition.
