Head Start
taking new student enrollments
Early Childhood Education openings for children ages birth to 5 are
available free to qualifying families in Greenville and Union City.
Head Start programs are based in centers and schools, and also offer
home-based services that assign dedicated staff who conduct weekly
visits to children in their own home and work with the parent as the
child's primary teacher. Home Based programs provide in-home
instruction as well as a group socialization experiences to parents and
children which will enhance the parents' ability to fill the role of
primary nurturer of their child.
Head Start achieves kindergarten readiness for children and supports
families with the educational, social, and mental health resources
needed to reach economic independence. Programs support and strengthen
parent-child relationships and engage families around children’s
learning and development.
Eligible families include those below the 130% Federal Poverty Level.
Regardless of income, Head Start also accepts at no cost, families who
are homeless, foster families, and those with special needs children.
