Preschool Details: The Clinch Valley Community Action Head Start program began operating as a Head Start grantee in July 2013 after many years as a delegate agency. The program continues to grow and expand the services that it offers in order to meet the changing needs of Tazewell County. During this program year, we were able to add 10 Early Head Start slots to our Head Start grant. The overarching goal of the CVCA program is to have each child ready for Kindergarten when he or she reaches age five. Our primary focus is to reach and serve low-income children and their families so that they can be prepared for entrance into the school system. Head Start does this through an educational program that relies on Creative Curriculum, the Teaching Strategies Gold Framework, with Houghton-Mifflin materials being used as supplements. The program operates eight classrooms that serve 157 children, a HS home-based program serving ten children, and an EHS home-based program serving 10 children. Centers are located throughout the county to ensure equitable access to the program. The Raven Center, housing one classroom, is located inside of Raven Elementary School. The Richlands Center, which has two classrooms, is located on the campus of Southwest Virginia Community College. The Tazewell Center, with three classrooms, is located on Tazewell Avenue. Finally, the Camp Joy Center, housing two classrooms, is located in the Springville area on the grounds of Camp Joy.
Age Requirements: 3 to 5 years old
