Kentucky Head Start Association

Russell @OVECkyed @HeadStartKY hosted a "muffins and moments" event where families made meaningful memories with their little ones that last a lifetime. Families were welcome to visit the classroom to enjoy breakfast and make art projects with their kids. What a special day!

October is Head Start Awareness Month! Join us in celebrating our Head Start Heroes and learn more about how Head Start is impacting Kentucky. headstartky.org/wp-content/upl…

Our students love creative activities. They also love going outside. The Cedar Grove @OVECkyed @HeadStartKY kiddos combined their two favorite things and created colorful artwork in the sunshine! 🎨

A federal shutdown has the potential to unleash a wave of uncertainty and hardship on the children and their families who depend on Early Head Start and Head Start. Thankfully, no Kentucky programs will be immediately impacted if a brief shutdown happens on October 1st.
