[June 12, 2013]  Community Action Head Start, a free program for birth to age 5 for income-eligible families is recruiting in Logan County for the 2013-2014 program year.

Head Start is a federally funded preschool program that serves income-eligible families and children between the ages of 3 and 5. Early Head Start is a child development program that serves income-eligible pregnant mothers as well as infants and toddlers to age 3.

In Logan County, Head Start provides center-based preschool services, and Early Head Start provides home-based services.

All eligible children are welcome. Children do not have to have a disability to qualify.

Additional services, including screenings and access to medical, dental and vision services and community services, are what sets Head Start apart from other child development and preschool programs. Transportation is also available to children and families in order to participate and receive full benefit from the program.

Head Start knows that parents are the first and most important teachers of their children. Parents are welcomed as partners in the Head Start experience.
