Dolgeville Head Start is a program where children from the ages 3-5 can come for early education before kindergarten. Head Start is federally funded, and the class takes a few field trips during the year. A typical week in the class is Monday through Thursday 8:00AM to 3:00PM, and many times parents come in to volunteer. Mrs. Pescatore is the teacher for the class. Her class consists of 18 students. The students learn the alphabet, numbers1-10, colors, shapes, learn to write their own name, and plant flowers for their science. The students also learn some animals and their sounds (moo). There are also some common day things that are taught, like tying a shoe, zipping a jacket, and buttoning a shirt..

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.
