Claremont Head Start (SCS)

Claremont Head Start, a cornerstone of early childhood development established in 1965, provides preschool-aged children with the educational and health services necessary for school success. Managed by SCS, the program serves low-income families by fostering a love for learning while supporting the "whole family" through resource navigation. Their mission is to ensure that every child, regardless of economic background, has a fair start.

Serving families in Claremont and the surrounding Sullivan County area, Head Start provides a nurturing environment where children develop social and academic skills. They also offer parent involvement opportunities that build community leadership and empower families to achieve self-sufficiency. By integrating nutritious meals and health screenings into the curriculum, Claremont Head Start promotes the overall well-being of local youth and families, contributing to long-term community prosperity.
