Franklin-Vance-Warren Opportunity, Inc., Head Start is a federally-funded child development program designed to prepare economically disadvantaged children for kindergarten. We also link families with services that will promote child and family success and lead to self-sufficiency. Counties served are: Franklin, Vance, Warren and Granville Counties. Services are provided for families who meet income guidelines. No fees are charged.
| Children are provided with nutritious meals including breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack. Approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of their nutritional needs are provided. Health services include the provision of medical, dental, mental health and nutrition services to meet the individual needs of preschool children including children with special needs and disabilities. At present, six of four Head Start Centers have received four stars" and three of our Head Start Centers have received “five stars” in the North Carolina Day Care Star Rated Program. |
| We are also pleased to announce that the Head Start program is currently utilizing an automated system used to measure learning accomplishments. The program is using Palm devices to record observations and learning accomplishments and upload gathered data into a central system. This accomplishment has provided quantifiable results on individual, classroom, center and program levels. |
