Head Start / Early Childhood Services
The agency’s Head Start program helps economically disadvantaged children from birth to 5 years old develop educational and social skills. Family members are encouraged to be involved in activities and educational experiences that will help foster a lifetime of commitment to quality education. In collaboration with county school systems, Head Start 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. Partnerships are developed with community agencies to provide additional services and resources to parents and children. Head Start works to meet each child's individual needs. Through this early socialization and educational experience, children who attend Head Start and Early Head Start are exposed to both the Head Start Early Learning Framework and the Kentucky Early Childhood Standards. The Head Start Act of 2007 requires specific information to be reported to the public annually. The following narrative, tables and graphs provide summary information, as required by law, for both the fiscal year 2011 and the program year 2010-11.

KRFDC Head Start established four goals to support School Readiness for children and families. The goals below will guide Head Start in important decision making for school.

1. To maintain a supportive learning environment for children.
2. To support parents/caregivers as they fulfill their roles as primary educators of their children.
3. To coordinate the delivery of comprehensive health services to children.
4. To support the development of a qualified and trained staff.

Head Start supports the classroom learning environment by utilizing the Classroom Assessment Scoring System as well as aligning KY State Preschool Standards and The Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework.

Teachers schedule meetings with parents throughout the school year to discuss the progress of their child. During these meeting, the parents are encouraged to take part in creating goals for their child. These goals are tracked by the teachers throughout the school year and progress is given to the parents during the meetings. Teachers work closely with families to promote healthy living and lifestyles. Prior to these meetings with families, the teachers and family service workers collaborate to ensure health are requirements are met.

Head Start ensures each staff are involved in creating appropriate Professional Development Plans to provide opportunities for growth and learning.
