SEVCA invites interested families to apply now, including families that need full-day care, as there are a few afternoon childcare slots available.
Families may also apply now for available Head Start slots in Springfield, Chester, White River Junction, and Windsor during the 2018-19 school year. Children must be at least age 3 by Sept. 1 to enroll. A full-day program is available in Springfield Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., and our other centers in Chester, Windsor, and White River Junction will offer six hours per day of classroom instruction, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. Our extended day program makes it easier for children with working parents to attend, and gives children the chance to rest or nap in the afternoon, have an additional healthy snack, and enjoy quiet activities.
Head Start helps children reach their full potential by providing age-appropriate developmental opportunities, educational and developmental assessments, and health screenings. In addition, Head Start supports the entire family, providing parents with the information and support to become effective parents as well as to work toward their own goals. And this year, Head Start introduced a more comprehensive 6-week parenting class, Positive Solutions, a program developed by the Center on Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning.
“I like how involved the parents get to be in the classroom and out of the classroom,” said Felicia from Springfield. She recently attended a family craft day where she and her 4-year old daughter, Kendra, made friendship bracelets, and she said she enjoys the “buddy breakfasts” and “lady lunches” as well. Kendra is in her second year at Head Start, and Felicia is thrilled with how her daughter has come out of her shell. “Kendra wasn’t a child to join in on group play with other kids her first year; now she will join in or even suggest a game they all can play.” Both Felicia and her husband had attended Head Start programs as children, and enrolled Kendra as soon as they found out there was a program in their town.
