serves low-income children from ages birth to five years and their
families at no cost. It is a federally funded program that is
operated by Council on Rural Services / Kids Learning Place in Darke
County. Children who attend Head Start programs are involved in
school readiness that includes literacy, language, science,
mathematics, and social-emotional development. They also receive
medical and dental services, are served healthy meals and snacks, and
enjoy playing safely indoors and outdoors.
Families are involved and are the center of Head Start’s success,
Families can take part in the classroom as volunteers, help with class
projects and even serve on the Policy Council, a board that partners
with staff in decision-making for the program.
