Description: One of the longest lasting and far reaching programs of the "War on Poverty" in the 1960's was "Project Head Start." The program was initially started as an eight-week summer program and designed to help break the cycle of poverty by providing preschool children of low-income families with a comprehensive program to meet their emotional, social, health, nutritional, and psychological needs.
Community Action Development Corporation has been involved in Head Start since its inception, opening with summer programs in Hobart and Lone Wolf in 1965. By 1969, the program had changed to a school year program.
Community Action Development Corporation Head Start operates 16 Head Start Centers in the seven county service area, serving approximately 500 children each year. Head Start serves 3 and 4 year old children with priority being given to low-income families. However, all families are encouraged to apply and children are served as space and regulations allow.
Head Start is a research based early childhood program that focuses on the whole child. Each child enrolled in Head Start receives medical, dental, hearing, vision, and developmental screenings. The program also provides 1/3 of the child's minimum daily nutritional requirements. Daily lessons are individualized to meet each child's needs and children with disabilities are served. In the education component, special attention is paid to school readiness and literacy. Children are assessed regularly to monitor their progress in the program.
Parent involvement is an important aspect of Head Start. As the child's first teacher, parents are encouraged to be involved in the classroom. They are welcomed into the center at any time and are a valuable part of the program.
The success and rewards of this program are many. By providing a "head start" to these children, Community Action will continue to nurture the future of our state.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

My daughter came home from school today and she was pooped in her pants. She had her accident during recess and she told me that she did tell her teacher Mrs. Braddock about it. I asked her what did her teacher say and all she said was that it was OK. No action was taken. I didn't get a phone call to come pick her up andshe came home like that with no clothes changed. She had been sitting in her poop for that long. It really concerned me as a mother. I didn't know how else to respond to this except this way. I hope this is taken care of. My daughter also didn't lie. She said she was upset and wanted me but of course she was at school and she cried. Is this a concern that I am able to share?
