The Head Start and Early Head Start programs
are state and federally funded early-childhood education programs that provide
services to pregnant moms, infants and toddlers, and pre-school children through
the age of five. The programs provide family and child development
activities at 14 sites in the five county service area.
In addition to the classroom activities provided, Head
Start services also include developmental screenings and assessments, medical
and dental exams and follow-up, home visits designed to support the families'
role as the child's primary educator, parent involvement activities, and many
more.
Eligibility requirements include income, child's age,
special needs of the child, families' employment status and special needs of the
family.
Head Start continues to strive to promote intellectual,
social, physical and emotional growth and development of children while
supporting parents in their role as the primary nurturer and educator of their
child.
