| Head Start
|
Fulmont
Community Action Agency, Inc. Head Start is a federally
funded, comprehensive early childhood program that serves
children ages 3-5 and their families. We provide a wide range
of services in the areas of education (school readiness &
social skills) medical, dental, mental health, nutrition,
disabilities and transition. We believe that the parent is the
primary educator of their child and therefore, parent
involvement is of the utmost importance in the Head Start
program. Head Start also provides nutritious meals served to
the children daily, educational field trips, parent training,
advocacy and community involvement.
