Botts Head Start

Head Start parents gathered at the Carl Perkins Building in Rowan County on Friday evening May 6, to enjoy a banquet designed to recognize and celebrate parent involvement. Gateway serves 312 Head Start children and their families in the counties of Bath, Menifee, Morgan, and Rowan. Families are encouraged to get involved by volunteering their time, participating in meetings, serving on councils, attending special events, and partnering with staff to promote school readiness.

Children who are 3 to 5 years old are eligible for Head Start services. Pregnant women and children from birth to 3 years of age are eligible for Early Head Start services. Children and families who are homeless, in foster care, or receive TANF or SSI are also eligible for services. Eligibility is determined by Head Start program staff and some families may be eligible for services if they are determined to be at or below the federal poverty level. Some grantees enroll a percentage of children from families with incomes above the Poverty Guidelines as well.
