Head Start gives preschoolers a head start

Head Start, a program of Community Action Partnership of Mid Nebraska, provides comprehensive services to children and families. 

Ogallala Head Start is now taking applications for the 2017-18 year.   

The objective of the Head Start program is to enhance the cognitive, social and emotional development of income eligible children through the provision of comprehensive health, educational, nutritional, social and other services, involve parents in their children’s learning and to help parents make progress toward their educational, literacy and employment goals.  

Head Start enhances children’s physical, social, emotional and intellectual development while helping parents with the goal of achieving self-sufficiency through the family partnership and goal-setting process.  

Head Start creates an environment that builds upon and responds to the unique strengths and needs of each child and family, including:  high quality early education at monthly family connection activities; home visits; on-going parenting enhancement services; comprehensive health services; nutrition; and ongoing support to parents through case management and peer support groups.

Anyone with a preschool child, age 3 or 4, please contact Sheryl, Community Action Partnership of Mid Nebraska Ogallala Head Start, 2606 Spruce Acres, Ogallala, NE 69153 or 308-284-3503.
