Chipley Head Start Center - Tri County Community Council, Inc.
Location: Chipley, FL - 32428
Contact Phone: (850) 638-9800
Details: In the 1960s, a small project called Head Start was born during the administration of President Lyndon Johnson, as part of his “war on poverty.” The program moved forward as part of a national effort initiated to give low-income children an educational boost in the summer months prior to their entrance in the public school system. About that same time, a local community action agency, Tri-County Community Council (TCCC), was beginning to spread its wings in a effort to provide a wide variety of services to those in need. Becoming a Head Start program administrator was a natural transition for TCCC, which has a founding history in program operations and innovation. Today, TCCC’s Head Start program has expanded, continues to grow, and continually reaches new levels of excellence in its operations and services to benefit children in the three counties it serves.From one tiny center in Chipley with a small enrollment Tri-County has expanded to five Head Start centers in Washington, Holmes and Walton counties which now serve hundreds of children annually with an impressive curriculum centered on educational advancement, physical and mental enrichment, socialization, and a whole-family approach. The program has also expanded from the summer months only mode to operations which coincide with the regular school year.
