Head Start/Home Start

Dedicated to enhancing family life, Head Start is a comprehensive preschool program for families with children, ages 3 to 5, who meet income eligibility guidelines. Head Start provides program activities that address a child's cognitive development as well as their physical, emotional and social development. It is designed to develop and nurture a sense of partnership between parents and program staff. Children enrolled in the Center-based Model attend activities on-site every day and are provided breakfast and lunch. The Combination Programs involves teachers conducting regular home visits and children participating in a preschool socialization experience 2 to 3 times a week.

Early Head Start

The Early Head Start program is a 12 month home-based program that provides Head Start services to families with children ages birth to three and pregnant women, who meet income eligibility requirements. The program focuses on building the parent/child relationship and providing support that all members of the family can fully realize their goals. Wrap-around childcare and program options are available in Casper and Torrington.
