January Head Start Update

By Kristi Walmsley, Head Start Assistant Manager

In December, Head Start provided a ham to all enrolled families and staff for their Christmas dinners. Winter breaks are a busy time for both families and staff. We hope that this takes one more thing off of their to-do lists while supporting them in a time when accessibility and costs may be prohibitive.
We have a new Family Visitor in Tok! If you have a child younger than the age of 3 who you’d like to enroll for home visits, please contact Waverly Neal at 907-452-8251 or 800-478-6822 ext. 3998.

There are still spots available in the classrooms! If you have a child under the age of 4 who you’d like to enroll, please contact Waverly Neal at 907-452-8251 or 800-478-6822 ext. 3998 for more information.

Dolly Parton Imagination Library

TCC Head Start has teamed up with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library! Every month enrolled children from the ages of birth to 5 will get a free age-appropriate book! Reading together is a wonderful way to build a lifelong love for reading with children and to promote family time. If you do not have a local Head Start educator, please contact Waverly Neal at 907-452-8251 or 800-478-6822 ext. 3998 for ways to sign up.
