In some locations it is necessary for parents to transport their own children. They are located throughout Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties. 4C administers the Head Start Program for Osceola and Seminole Counties. Orange County is administered by the Orange County Community Affairs office. Head Start regulations stipulate no more than 20 children per room, with one teacher for every ten children.
Centers usually follow the public school schedule.
At lunchtime children receive a nutritious family-style meal. All children are taught to wash their hands before meals and brush their teeth after meals, and are encouraged to develop good personal habits. Breakfast is also provided each day as well as nutritious snacks during the day. Head Start gives your child a head start in life. It provides children with activities that help them grow mentally, socially, emotionally, and physically.
