Head Start is enrolling preschoolers now for Fall 2013 

Young children NEED to be ready for kindergarten and the Head Start part-day preschool program in Darke County is taking applications NOW for their kindergarten readiness classrooms!  

Head Start is a federally funded preschool program at Kids Learning Place in Greenville, Bradford and Union City. The eligibility for this no cost preschool program is: a child must be between 3 to 5 years old and the family must meet federal income guidelines.  The program also provides services to children of families that are homeless and children with disabilities are also considered.   

There are two options; either part day classrooms or our home visiting program for more rural areas of the county.  Our centers provide children with safe and nurturing classrooms and the home base offers weekly visits and periodic group days. The Kids Learning Place program provides every child with a positive education experience that includes: 

teachers with degrees in every classroom

developmental testing throughout the year

individualized services for children and families

bus transportation in most areas

only star rated “Step Up to Quality” centers in the county
