Details:

Head Start is a free federally-funded comprehensive child development program for 3 and 4 year olds that proposes to promote the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth of the children enrolled. The program is designed primarily for children whose families fall within the federal poverty income guidelines. Head Start is based on the premise that all children share certain needs and that children of income eligible families, in particular, can benefit from a comprehensive developmental program to meet those needs. The program maximizes the strengths and unique experiences of each child. The family, which is the principal influence on the child’s development, is a direct participant in the program. The overall goal of Head Start is directed to bringing about a greater degree of social competence in the child’s everyday effectiveness in dealing with both the present environment and future responsibilities. This goal takes into account social competencies development as well as health and nutrition. Provided all income eligible children are enrolled, 10% of the total enrollment may include children of non-low-income families who are experiencing various severe hardships such as disabilities. Enrollment is open to all children of Cattaraugus or Wyoming counties regardless of race, sex, creed, color, national origin or disabling conditions, whose family income falls within the guidelines.
