SEVCA Head Start Offers a Nurturing Early Childhood Education for Children Ages 3 to 5 with Spots available right now in Chester and Springfield, VT

The years before kindergarten build the foundation for school and for life. In Head Start, children develop early language and literacy skills and learn to listen, share, and manage social / emotional health, so they start kindergarten confident and ready. Head Start also makes sure children are well fed and connected to the medical and dental care they need to grow and learn. Additionally, we support the families needs with Family Partners who connect people to other SEVCA resources or referrals within the community.

What Head Start offers children and families:

- Full-day classrooms: Safe, loving classrooms open 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with 32 hours of preschool per week; There are a limited number of full day/full year options, inquire to learn more details.
- Healthy meals: Nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snack every day
- Medical and dental homes: Help connecting every child with a doctor and dentist, keeping checkups current, plus hearing and vision screenings
- Summer and after-school options: Summer programming and after-school care to support families year-round
- Connection to SEVCA services: Easy referrals to SEVCA's other programs, from fuel and housing assistance to financial coaching and tax prep

⏰ Summer EBT benefits will expire soon!

Vermont issued Summer EBT benefits to more than 38,000 school-aged children this summer, but more than 12,000 families still have benefits left. Over $1.4 million will go back to the federal government if it isn’t used.

Benefits last 122 days, and most households need to use them before October 10, 2026. Once they expire, you can’t get them back.

📞 Need a new EBT card or want to know when your benefits expire? Call 1-888-354-0012 and press option 7.
