The overall goal of the Community Action Committee of Pike Co., Early Childhood Program is to bring about a greater degree of social competence in children. Social competence means the child’s everyday effectiveness in dealing with both the present environment and later responsibilities in school and life. Children provided with a wide variety of learning experiences will grow in all areas of development (socially, physically, intellectually and emotionally). Ultimately, the Early Childhood Program is here to help Pike County’s low-income residents solve some of their existing economic and social problems.

Children who are 3 to 5 years old are eligible for Head Start services. Pregnant women and children from birth to 3 years of age are eligible for Early Head Start services. Children and families who are homeless, in foster care, or receive TANF or SSI are also eligible for services. Eligibility is determined by Head Start program staff and some families may be eligible for services if they are determined to be at or below the federal poverty level. Some grantees enroll a percentage of children from families with incomes above the Poverty Guidelines as well.

Families are encouraged to apply.
