Head Start

The Hamilton County Educational Service Center operates a Head Start Preschool at Symmes Elementary for children ages 3 – 5 years old.  The half-day sessions are taught by qualified early childhood teachers and are intended to help children enter kindergarten ready to learn. Nutritious meals and snacks are provided as a component of this comprehensive program.  The program is at no cost to families who qualify by one of the following ways: meeting certain income requirements, receiving TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), receiving Social Security Income, or providing foster or kinship care.  For more information and to enroll, call HCESC at 513-674- 4329 or visit http://hcescheadstart.org/.
