Registration is underway for a non-profit program aimed at introducing young kids to the school setting.

Krissy Conklin is the Director of Head Start for Community Action of Central Illinois and outlines the birth to three years old program, Early Head Start, and it is geared at getting children up to speed in terms of developmental milestones.

The primary Head Start program is geared at getting kids acclimated to the classroom setting and ready to attend school for Kindergarten.

According to Conklin, those that come through the Head Start program will be ready at a variety of levels for the school setting.

Head Start registration is underway and Conklin encourages anyone that thinks they might qualify for this program to apply now because space is limited and it fills up quickly.
