Ogdensburg Head Start

Ogdensburg Head Start is a federally funded comprehensive school readiness program located at 801 Park Street in Ogdensburg, New York. The program is designed for children between 3 and 5 years of age and is led by experienced, certified teachers who provide a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment for all children, including those with special needs. Children in the program will develop skills in math, science, literacy, language, social/emotional, and physical health and development through play-based learning experiences.

There are both full day and part day classrooms available, as well as home-based services for families who prefer to have their child learn in the comfort of their own home. Transportation is provided to and from the center in agency-owned buses with safety restraints and monitors. Children are served meals and receive screenings for growth and development, vision, hearing, and speech evaluations. Families also receive assistance in accessing community resources.

Parents and caregivers are encouraged to be actively involved in their child's education, with opportunities to volunteer in the classroom, participate in program decisions, and receive information on parenting and leadership skills. The program also offers leadership opportunities for parents to enhance their skills and resumes.

Ogdensburg Head Start is currently seeking new children for enrollment and offers transportation services within the school district. The program ensures the safety of all children through trained bus drivers and monitors, daily inspections of buses, and ongoing staff training. With a focus on school readiness and socialization, Ogdensburg Head Start provides a valuable educational experience for children and families in the community.
