Recognizing October as Head Start Month

Recognizing October as Head Start Month

October is recognized as National Head Start Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the transformative impact of Head Start programs in promoting early learning, health, and family well-being for children across our communities. 

Head Start is a free preschool program for children ages 3 to 5 from income-eligible families, which full-day classes and locations across Delaware County. In addition to early learning, the program offers support with health, nutrition, and family services to help children start school ready to learn. 

What We Offer: 

  • Safe, caring childcare in trusted community programs 
  • Support for your baby's learning, health, and development 
  • Home visits to help you prepare for your baby and support your parenting 
  • Nutrition, mental health, and family support services 
  • Resources for pregnant women, first-time parents, and growing families
