WestCop/Putnam Head Start

The Head Start program (for children ages 3-5) and Early Head Start program (for pregnant women, infants, and toddlers) are comprehensive early childhood development programs that support income-eligible families as well as strengthen children’s skills to promote success in later life. Children who attend Head Start participate in a variety of educational activities that promote early learning in the areas of science, language, literacy, math, fine and large motor skills and social-emotional development. Head Start is not just for children. It is a family-centered program where parents are encouraged to become active partners in their child’s learning. Parent education, family support and social services are available to support and empower Head Start families. Families may participate in meetings or training involving topics on: health, CPR, job preparation, parenting and nutrition and may learn about many community resources.
