Description: Head Start is a federal program that promotes the school readiness of children ages birth to 5 years of age from low-income families. This is accomplished by enhancing their cognitive, social, and emotional development.
Wateree Community Actions, Inc. operates three (3) sub-programs within its Head Start Program:
Pre-School (Regular) Head Start Program - serves children 3 & 4 years of age, operates from August-May of each year, and has ten (10) sites located across Clarendon, Kershaw, Lee, and Sumter counties.
Early Head Start Program - serves infants and toddlers, operates from August-June of each year, and has sites located across Clarendon, Kershaw, and Lee counties.
Migrant Head Start Program - serves infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers, operates from June-October of each year, and has two sites located in Clarendon and Florence (Lake City area) counties. Those whose children participate in the Migrant Head Start Program usually migrate from one area to another working in agiculture over a 12-24 month period.
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.
