Bradford-Tioga Head Start, Inc. offers high quality early childhood education programming for pregnant women, infants, and children up to the age of five years old. All programming is provided for families at no cost; it’s FREE.

Preschool services are offered through Head Start and PA Pre-K Counts for children ages 3 to 5 years old (up to Kindergarten age eligibility). Most Classrooms are open five days a week for 5 ½ to 5 ¾ hours each day for 180 days a year. August to June. The well-structured program is built around activities to foster school readiness for children. Children actively participate in areas such as math, literacy, writing, social studies, art, and self-help skills. Nutritious breakfasts/snacks and lunches are provided free of charge and served daily. Transportation on buses is provided in some locations. Children in specific geographic areas are transported in buses. All children receive developmental, speech, language, dental, vision, and medical screenings with needed follow-up.

Services for pregnant women, infants, and children to the age of three years old, known as Early Head Start, offers in-home services. A home visitor, called a Family Partner, visits the family every week for at least one and one-half hours. During the visit, the family is offered services in education, health, nutrition, and social services based on their needs. The program shares information about child development, parenting, and family goals and teaches parents/caregivers how to help their children learn new skills.
