will Escambia Co. ever get an Early Head Start program?
thank you for explaining that it gets confusing at times….very nice explanation
Head Start is a program that is designed for 3-5 year olds. They are family oriented and prepare children academically for entering kindergarten. Early Head Start is an early intervention program for children ages birth – three years of age. It is based on the premise of providing early intervention for children who are from low income families primarily and may not receive the educational opportunties at home that they would in the program. It is income and needs based. It is family oriented also and serves pregnant teens. Volunteer work is highly encouraged in the EHS program. There is a website that explains all of this in more detail. Santa Rosa County has had Early Head Start for 9 years. It is based at TR Jackson Pre-K School in Bagdad. They are under the school system in SRC. Again, you can visit the Birth – Three website or Early Head Start website.
prek and headstart are confusing if i have it right prek are the 4 year olds heading to k and then headstart are 0-3 as of now headstart is at schools certain ones such as sid nelson where they will be when school opens next year i dont think anyone has said.sid nelson has headstart,prek and cyesis (teenage girls) some of which have babies and they have areas for the babies.I believe mcmillan downtown also has the same programs.i could be wrong on some of this feel free to correct me if so.just trying to be helpful.
Early Head Start is a wonderful program. It will be an awesome experience if it is run properly.
I thought that Bratts prek program was a part of Headstart. Is it not. I know that only 4 year old student attend. Will this be a head start school or in home programs?.
where will headstart be located at for century molino and bratt area since sid nelson will close at the end of the school year.
