As we close out 2024, it is time for reflection and celebration! Central Kentucky Head Start has had a very successful first half of this school year and is excited for the time to recharge as we prepare for 2025!
Central Kentucky Head Start is working to fully implement our new program option. We now have 352 Head Start slots and 48 Early Head Start slots across our nine centers. Early Head Start is a growing area for Head Start and we are glad to be able to convert three classrooms to serve these younger kiddos. Staffing remains an ongoing challenge, but we are actively working to make sure our programs are fully staffed and fully enrolled.
Central Kentucky Head Start is excited about the future of our organization. This year, CKYHS has created a new role to have Ms. Ann Pickerrell as the Assistant Director for our program. Ms. Pickerrell is transitioning from our Education Manager position and brings wonderful experience and ideas to this new leadership position. 2025 will mean that we will have a new Head Start Director as Mr. Bryan Conover transition to CKCAC’s Executive Director, as well. Stay tuned for exciting news as we continue to strengthen Central Kentucky Head Start!
As 2024 comes to a close, we want to wish you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday season and Happy New Year! Thank you for your continued support of Central Kentucky Head Start! Please help us raise awareness of the educational and employment opportunities that we provide! If there is anything we can do to help the children and families in our communities, please let us know!
