Laurel Health System's Bradford-Tioga Head Start, an educational preschool program for three- to five-year-olds, includes 11 Head Start sites (listed below) located throughout Tioga and Bradford counties. Eligibility is based on federal income guidelines. Classroom activities help youngsters improve their self-image and increase physical, social, self-help, and school readiness skills. Parents are encouraged to volunteer in the classroom. Through Head Start's Policy Council, made up of volunteers, parents take an active role in designing the program and managing budget issues and staff selection.
Bradford-Tioga Head Start provides a range of screenings for preschoolers enrolled in the program, including developmental, speech, hearing, and vision. Dental, as well as medical examinations, are coordinated with area professionals. Head Start may provide transportation to and from the sites for both children and parent volunteers.
If you are pregnant or have a child under three years of age, you may be eligible to receive services from Early Head Start. For information on enrollment and eligibility, call (570) 638-1400 or 1-800-808-LAUREL (5287).
If you are 100 to 300 percent of the federal poverty guidelines and you have a child between three and five years old, you may be eligible for Bradford-Tioga Head Start's Pre-K (Kindergarten) Program.
