Programs
Head Start is funded to serve 85 children at a time, from ages three to five. Because of turnover during the year, the program served 102 children in 2025–2026. The program provides services in the areas of education, nutrition, health, mental health, transportation, and social services. The children are offered the opportunity to gain all the skills necessary to succeed. Degreed teachers provide the children with these opportunities. Parents are encouraged to become involved in their children’s education and are given information as to what they can do to help.
Head Start Believes: All children and families of our community should be served in a responsible, respectful, and reliable manner. In committing to the children and families. In offering compassion and flexibility of our TEAM to communicate and advocate for the children and the families.
To engage families in understanding their roles in regards to advocacy, community partnerships, and child development in order to prepare children for success in school and life.
Class runs Monday through Thursday, 8:15 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., August through May. The entire program follows all federal rules, Ohio Dept. of Education rules, and the guidelines set forth by Ohio Dept. of Jobs and Family services. We strive to provide quality service to children and their families, and to help them reach their full potential.
