Are you a Head Start parent? If so, please take a moment to read this Parent Letter and sign if you agree!

Head Start parents, this is your opportunity to make your voice heard!

Right now, parents have a chance to speak directly to federal leaders by signing onto a Head Start parent letter responding to a new Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).

Head Start families know firsthand the difference Head Start makes for children, families, and communities. If Head Start has impacted your family’s life, now is the time to share your voice.

Running to the grocery store this weekend?

It's still April, which means there's still time to send Champlain Valley Head Start a donation through the purchase of a Community Bag at the Essex Hannaford Supermarkets located at 21A Essex Way in Essex Junction.
