The Orange County Head Start and Early Head Start program began in 1997 as an Early Head Start program. Originally, the program was funded to serve 100 children age birth to three and pregnant women in low-income households in Orange County, NC. In 2003, the Pre-K Head Start program was added with funding to serve 80 additional children and families in Northern Orange County. Orange County is composed of two distinct geographic areas. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro area in the southeastern corner of the county is home to the University of North Carolina, and home to 20,000 students and a large population of well-paid and well educated persons who are connected with the university and the adjacent, Research Triangle Park. With more than half the county's population, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area has its own school system. The rest of the county is mainly rural with social, educational and economic conditions that are typical of other rural areas in the state. A second school system serves this part of Orange County. The Chapel Hill Training-Outreach Project, Inc. was a division of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School System (CHCCS) from 1969 until 1997. In 1984, the CHTOP, Inc. acquired funding to start the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Head Start program which remained with the CHCCS after CHTOP, Inc. became an independent, 501 (c)(3), non-profit organization in 1997. Today, there are two Head Start programs serving Orange County: The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Head Start Program of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School System and The Orange County Head Start and Early Head Start program of the Chapel Hill Training-Outreach Project, Inc.
