Head Start:

Head Start is a Federally funded parent participation program for low-income families with children from 3 to 5 years of age.  Head Start consists of 3 major service areas: Child Development/Health, Family Community Partnerships and Program Governance. The Head Start program offers an individualized preschool experience, with a family focus, through two Head Start program options.

Center Based Program
The teacher and an assistant work with children and families 4 hours per day. Each program has the option of wrapping with the State Preschool program if income eligible.  A developmentally appropriate program is individualized to meet the child and family’s identified needs in the areas of growth and development, health and nutrition.  Family and community volunteers are welcome in the classroom to interact with the children under the direction of the teacher.  All volunteers are screened before they can work in the classroom.

Home Based Program
The Home Base Teacher assists the parent to be the primary teacher of their child.  Together they plan family related activities that are conducted in the home.  Each family is visited once a week.  In addition, the home base child attends two socialization days per month, along with other children and families enrolled in the program.
