Description: Franklin-Vance-Warren Opportunity, Inc., Head Start is a federally-funded child development program designed to prepare economically disadvantaged children for kindergarten. We also link families with services that will promote child and family success and lead to self-sufficiency. Counties served are: Franklin, Vance, Warren and Granville Counties. Services are provided for families who meet income guidelines. No fees are charged. Children are provided with nutritious meals including breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack. Approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of their nutritional needs are provided. Health services include the provision of medical, dental, mental health and nutrition services to meet the individual needs of preschool children including children with special needs and disabilities. At present, nine Head Start Centers have received five stars in the North Carolina Day Care Star Rated Program. We are also pleased to announce that the Head Start program is currently utilizing an automated system used to measure learning accomplishments. The program is using a database system to record observations and learning accomplishments. This accomplishment has provided quantifiable results on individual, classroom, center and program levels.
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.
