About The Program
Head Start programs provide daily routines to nurture your child’s curiosity and build relationships with caregivers in a safe, fun environment. We also use activities like storytelling, playing with toys, music and movement, and art, to learn through play.
Building a Strong Foundation for Pregnant Moms and Children ages Birth to 5 – Early Head Start/Head Start programs provide children and families that are income eligible the opportunity to develop skills for parenting and school readiness. Head Start provides FREE resources for the whole family in order for you to meet your family goals as well as prepare your child for the school setting.
Head Start and Early Head Start provides an early childhood education program to 261 participants residing in Grayson and Carroll counties and the city of Galax. Components of the program relate to prenatal care, Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS), family and health services.
