Bourbon County Board of Education Head Start

The Bourbon County Preschool Head Start Center provides child care services for children enrolled in the program. The Bourbon County Preschool Head Start child care offers a high quality, developmentally appropriate program. The program adheres to the guidelines set forth by the Department of Health and Human Services and the state licensing board. Our commitment to quality ensures that the needs of the children are met, and policies, procedures and practices.

Head Start generally serves children ages 3 to 5 who meet local eligibility requirements. Pregnant women and children from birth to 3 years of age are eligible for Early Head Start services. Children and families who are homeless, in foster care, or receive TANF or SSI are also eligible for services. Eligibility is determined by Head Start program staff and some families may be eligible for services if they are determined to be at or below the federal poverty level. Some grantees enroll a percentage of children from families with incomes above the Poverty Guidelines as well.

Families are encouraged to apply.

Enrollment Applications can be picked up at the Bourbon County Preschool Head Start Center. A $15.00 one-time registration fee must be paid before the child can begin the child care program.
