Child & Youth Education

KOOTASCA Head Start provides services based on a “whole child” model, the program provides comprehensive services that include preschool education, medical, dental, and mental health care; nutrition services and efforts to help parents foster their child’s development. In addition the Head Start Program provides family support services to parents to help them lift themselves out of poverty. In Itasca County much of the Head Start programming is in a blended model with the Invest Early Project. This model is unique to our community and allows us to enhance our programming further and combine resources to achieve great outcomes for more children and families.
