In a traditional Head Start classroom, children attend class four days a week for 3 ½ hours a day.  The classroom focus is on teaching children the skills needed for success in school and life. There is an emphasis placed on developing language, literacy and social skills. Transportation to and from the classrooms is offered from designated bus stops.
Parents are key to the success of the Head Start program. As the primary educators of their children, they are encouraged to participate in all areas of the program. Family Service staff serve as a link between home and school, providing information and education on a child’s progress in the program. Family Service staff also serve as a resource to families and are able to provide valuable links to community services.

Head Start is also offering a full-day program, Monday-Friday, that includes Head Start and child care in one package. Children are with their Head Start teacher all day--learning, experiencing and having fun. This opportunity is great for parents who work or attend school and need a combination preschool/child care program for their children. There is a minimal fee for the child care portion of the day. Child care assistance is available through the Wyoming Department of Family Services for qualifying families to help cover the cost.

Made possible through a grant from the Wyoming Children’s Action Alliance, the Early Enrichment Program allows us to serve children in families whose income exceeds the existing federal guidelines for the Head Start program. Children receive 3 ½ hours of quality preschool on a four-day/week schedule and offers the same great benefits of Head Start. Classroom sessions are available in the morning or afternoon.  Call our main center at 307-634-5829 to find out if your child qualifies.
