Fall 2026

Fall is an exciting season at CKCAC Head Start & Early Head Start! With the program year underway, our centers are filled with learning, relationship-building, and opportunities for children, families, staff, and community partners to grow together. As always, we count on your to help us spread the word – Enrollment is Open!

Learning & Growing

Our classrooms are focused on creating safe, welcoming environments where children can learn through play, exploration, conversation, and hands-on experiences. Daily routines and activities support school readiness while helping children build confidence, independence, and positive relationships.

Strong Families. Strong Communities.

Head Start is more than early childhood education. Our program works alongside families to support their goals and connect them with resources and services that strengthen the entire family.

Partnerships with schools, agencies, businesses, and community organizations help us expand these opportunities and better serve the communities in our region.

Investing in Quality

Our staff continue to participate in professional learning, coaching, and ongoing program improvement efforts. This work helps ensure that children receive high-quality services in environments where they feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.

Looking Ahead

As we move through the fall season, we look forward to continued learning, family engagement, community partnerships, and opportunities to strengthen the services we provide.

Thank you to our families, staff, community partners, and supporters for being part of the work of CKCAC Head Start & Early Head Start!
