The Darden Center is a comprehensive, quality program that includes educational, health, parent involvement and social services designed to prepare children ages 3-5 for entry into public school.
Head Start has income, county residency and age guidelines in place. Because there are more eligible children than slots, the ACHR-CDP uses a points system to determine acceptance to the program. Ten percent of the children can be over the income limit, which makes them able to accept children with diagnosed special needs who otherwise might not be eligible. Applications will be accepted at any time, but are particularly encouraged in time for the beginning of the Head Start year.
