Description: Vigo County Head Start is a national preschool program that promotes school readiness by enhancing the social and cognitive development of children through the provision of educational, health, nutritional, social and other services to enrolled children and families. Vigo County Head Start provides developmentally appropriate preschool activities with a special focus on helping children develop the early reading and math skills they need to be successful in school. Vigo County Head Start is a licensed child care center that provides comprehensive child development services to economically disadvantaged children and families. The preschool program enrolls children ages 3 – 5. The staff recognizes that the parents are the first and most important teachers of their children. We welcome parent involvement and work as partners with parents to develop a program that best meets the needs of their child. Household income eligibility is based upon 100% of the federal poverty guidelines and children must be 3 years old by August 1st.
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.
