ACHR's Head Start program, a key part of the ACHR Child Development Program (ACHR-CDP), began in the summer of 1965. It is a comprehensive, quality program that includes educational, health, parent involvement and social services designed to prepare children ages 3-5 for entry into public school. Currently more than 400 children are served at the Frankie B. King Center in Auburn, the Darden Center in Opelika, and the Marian Wright Edelman Center in rural Russell County. Most classrooms consist of 18 children in a mixed age grouping, a teacher (with either a B.A. Degree in Family and Child Development, a B.A. Degree in Early Childhood Education, or an A.A. Degree in Child Development), and a teacher assistant who has or is working toward a two-year degree or a CDA. Starting in 2007, the ACHR-CDP has partnered with the Lee County Schools (LCS) to provide classrooms that serve children who have special needs along with typically developing children. The program has grown to five classrooms in two LCS schools. These classes usually have 12-16 children and three teachers and aides. All children in the partnership classrooms receive the full array of services that LCS and HS provide to their other children.
