Overview
Mission

What it reported doing in 2024
Head start/early head start program - prepares children from low-income families to succeed in school by providing basic skills. The ages of the children range from 0-5 years old. The goal is to help them improve their readiness for school by helping them grow mentally, socially, emotionally, and physically. This program also provides free meals to improve nutrition and also provides free medical and dental services. A total of 1,158 children, infants, and toddlers were funded, 1,056 head start and 102 early head start, in 83 classrooms of which 37 were in collaboration with public school systems and child care facilities in the 23 county service area.
