Children are required to have a physical exam and up to date immunizations upon enrollment in Head Start. Children without insurance or a medical card will receive these health services free of charge. Children succeed in Head Start by participating in activities which are developmentally appropriate for the individual child.
Children attend either morning or afternoon classes in McPherson. Classes are held Monday through Thursday during the school year.
Children may be eligible for free busing to and from Head Start.
Children who attend the morning session receive breakfast and lunch. Afternoon children receive lunch and a snack. There is no charge for these meals or snack.
Parents have the opportunity to serve on committees, attend meetings and help make decisions regarding the Head Start program. Parents are encouraged to serve as classroom volunteers whenever possible, and also to accompany the class on field trips throughout the year. |
