Children who attend a high quality program in the year or two before kindergarten are better prepared for school academically, socially and emotionally.
The Clinton County Preschool Programs are a collaboration of school districts and community-based providers who offer state (GSRP) and federally (Head Start) funded preschool services for low to moderate income families.
Please be aware that according to new state guidelines, all children must be 3 years old on or before September 1st to be eligible for Head Start. Children must be 4 years old on or before September 1st to be eligible for GSRP, if your child is 5 years old by September 1st they are not eligible for these programs.
Family income is one key factor in determining eligibility for GSRP and Head Start programs. The federal poverty guidelines are used to evaluate family income.
