Head Start is a pre school program designed for children ages 3 to 5 to help them prepare for their future. They are getting a head start before they attend elementary school. The potential for the child’s learning is the greatest during the early years of a child’s life. The Head Start program will provide an early education learning environment that will provide a variety of rich activities that will foster physical, mental, emotional and social development. Activities will include both individual and group learning experiences. Each child’s growth level and individual needs is the basis for his/her learning experience. The staff are trained and educated in early childhood.

Children who are 3 to 5 years old are eligible for Head Start services. Pregnant women and children from birth to 3 years of age are eligible for Early Head Start services. Children and families who are homeless, in foster care, or receive TANF or SSI are also eligible for services. Eligibility is determined by Head Start program staff and some families may be eligible for services if they are determined to be at or below the federal poverty level. Some grantees enroll a percentage of children from families with incomes above the Poverty Guidelines as well.

Families are encouraged to apply.
