Head Start is a federally funded program offered to families who have a child 3-5 years of age and who meet income guidelines within the counties of Adams, Columbia, Dodge, Juneau and Sauk. We believe all families need and deserve support and respect as their child’s first teacher. We strive to meet all the developmental needs of children and families including educational, health, nutrition, social-emotional, emotional, and special needs concerns. We assist families in gaining the opportunities they need to succeed through linking families to community resources and continuous parent involvement. School readiness preparation and parent/family engagement are key concepts of the Head Start Program.
Parents are the backbone of our Head Start program. They Volunteer their time in the program, and are directly involved in their child’s development. Parents have a direct involvement in decision making and planning through the Policy Council. They participate in the activities they have helped to plan. We provide opportunities for parents to continue their own development by offering workshop training, and limited financial assistance for continued education. We know being a parent is a lot of hard work and only you know what it is like for you and your child.
