About This Organization

Children between the ages of 5 and 12 come to the Settlement from 2:30 to 5:30 every day during the school year. The Peewees (5-6), Little Rascals (7-8), and Juniors (8-12) begin their afternoon reviewing the day’s schedule, followed by a snack, homework help, special interest classes (dance, music, drama, and visual arts, seasonal sports, and woodcraft), Read to Win, and a closing ceremony. Special events may include field trips, library visits, overnight visits to House In The Wood Camp and holiday parties.

Who is Eligible?

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.
