Description: Head Start is a federally funded program whose goal is to prepare children ages 3-5 for school by providing a quality, safe-learning environment within a structured educational setting. Head Start is the only local preschool program that offers health, dental, social services and a comprehensive parent involvement program. Services are provided in Davie, Stokes, Surry, and Yadkin Counties to 385 children and include nutritious meals and snacks and developmentally appropriate activities. Medical and dental services are provided (including payment, if needed, for healthcare, dental exams and follow-up). Parents have the opportunity to partner with teachers to develop their child’s plans for learning, develop and revise program policies, and approve staff hiring and firing decisions. Inclusion of children with special needs, professional staff, referral services and literacy are also provided. Head Start operates in conjunction with the local school system calendar. Families must meet Federal income guidelines to qualify.
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.
