A HUGE thank you to Kevin O’Connor at O’Connor Plumbing who promotes the drive to his employees, customers, and business connections. Kevin even dropped off gifts for families in need with his daughter.
The Head Start program provides comprehensive education, social, health, and nutrition services to eligible three and four-year-old children and their families in eight locations. Children participate in appropriate educational experiences, field trips, nutritional meals, and health screenings. They also receive limited transportation services, referrals for disability and mental health issues, and school transition services. Family involvement in the program is encouraged and assistance is given in obtaining needed social services. If you or anyone you know could benefit from the Head Start program and can meet Federal eligibility guidelines, please call or stop by our Head Start office today.
