Hanna - Creighton Head Start

CANI Head Start influences the lives of some 800 children per year but it is more than just a preschool. It provides help with educational and social service needs of the families of the children as well.
CANI Head Start is helping interested parents learn how to be substitute teacher assistants through its PASTA program. Parents who volunteer at least 50 hours on the classroom are given additional training in child development and health and safety procedures. They then can apply as substitute teacher assistants when they are needed in the classroom.

Community groups from high school students to retirees also are an important part of CANI Head Start. For example high school students in the Whitley County HANDS program and Haverhill Elementary School donated time energy and gifts to make the holidays brighter for Head Start children. Students from Homestead High School made quilts for nap blankets for head Start children.
