People Inc. to assume operations of Head Start program serving Frederick County, Clarke County and the City of Winchester
People Incorporated, a Virginia-based nonprofit, announced today that it will assume operations of the Head Start program serving children ages three and four years old in Frederick County, Clarke County and the City of Winchester beginning August 1.
The community action agency will provide a high-quality, time-tested approach to center-based early childhood education services at two centers in the region. The program will serve a total of 85 children at the Poux Center and at Frederick Douglass Elementary School with increased hours of operation and bus transportation available to and from both centers.
“We look forward to working with the community to incorporate the best parts of the current program with the best our agency has to offer from over 50 years of experience providing these services,” said Donna Buckland, director of child and family development at People Inc. “We are pleased to welcome families and community partners into our family of programs!”
People Inc. has operated Head Start services in Southwest Virginia since 1965. Last year, People Inc.’s Head Start programs served over 275 families.
Families can learn more about how to enroll their children in the Head Start program by visiting www.peopleinc.net/program-child-family-development.
