Kids
Learning Place has a long tradition
of delivering high quality education services for children birth
through 5 year

begin
their early childhood learning. The
part
day program is centered around a place to improve the lives of young
children
through active, involved learning; it provides children everyday
opportunities
to learn, grow, and explore in their environment.
Transportation may be available in most
areas.
The
local Darke County Kids
Learning Place located in Greenville, Bradford and Union City include
Head
Start classrooms funded by the Department of Health and Human Services. Eligibility for Head Start
is based on
families that meet federal mandated income guidelines, children and
families
that are homeless or in foster care are also eligible.
Children with disabilities may be
accepted
without income restrictions.
The
part day preschool features
quality family-focused programs serving children three through five
years in
either a center, or a home based setting for rural parts of the county.
Infant
and toddler Early Head Start programs are also available in Greenville
for full
day needs.
The
program embraces the idea of
being responsive and appropriate to each child’s education needs. The over-all goal is to
increase school
readiness and the healthy development of young children, with strong
parent
involvement and social service focus.
We
have a “cutting edge” program that is full of opportunities for young
children
to learn.
In
addition to classroom education,
families will be supported with services in the areas of medical,
dental, and
mental health, nutrition and parent involvement.
Every preschool child receives periodic
growth and development assessments.
These assessments are shared with the
parents, and used by the staff to
plan education activities to meet the child’s individual development
needs.
