Preschool Description
Head Start is a child and family development program for low-income preschoolers (ages 3-5) and their families. Children receive a high quality early education opportunity through participation in either our center-based preschool or our home-based option (Early Head Start). All children receive a physical dental and numerous other health and developmental screenings to assure that the child is healthy and ready to learn. Center-based children attend school four days each week. Transportation is provided to and from the child's home. Home-based children receive 1 1/2 hour home visits in their home each week. These children come together two to three times each month for play groups and field trips.
Families are assisted in setting goals and referrals to needed social services to assist them in becoming more self-sufficient. Parent groups and family fun nights are provided to allow for time to spend together as a family and discuss issues and topics that affect parenting and family life.
Family incomes must be at or below 100% of the federal poverty level. Children must be three prior to August 1 to be eligible for Head Start. The program accepts children with disabilities. Head Start programs are offered through Community Action Program in the following Indiana counties; Benton Boone Fountain Montgomery Parke Vermillion and Warren. Recruitment for families is ongoing throughout the year. Our big recruitment push occurs in the spring.
