New Head Start Program In Molino Celebrates Grand Opening

October 11, 2014

The Community Action Program  celebrated the opening of their newest Head Start location Friday in the Molino Community Complex on Highway 95A.

The Head Start program renovated a 3,755 building that was part of the former Molino Elementary School and next to the current Molino Branch Library.  The program moved from it’s previous home in the old Ransom Middle School on Muscogee Road  in Cantonment to the Molino location.

The building was originally slated to be razed when the rest of the community center was refurbished, District 5 Commissioner Steven Barry said, because the county did not have the funds for the renovation.

Head Start and Early Head Start Programs provide comprehensive, developmental services for low-income pre-school children ages birth to five and support services for their families. The purpose of the Head Start programs is to promote school readiness by enhancing the social and cognitive development of children through the provision of health, educational, nutritional, social and other services. The cornerstone of the program is parent and community development.
