Overview

The Region 10 Head Start/Early Head Start program falls under the direction of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families. Since its inception in 1965, Head Start has succeeded by promoting school readiness in children and self-sufficiency for their families. We are required to adhere to a set of guidelines known as the Head Start Performance Standards.

Region 10 Education Service Center (ESC) is the grantee for Head Start and Early Head Start services while partnering with thirteen (13) school districts serving 952 children in Head Start and 168 pregnant women and children in Early Head Start for a total funded enrollment of 1,120.

Head Start is a federally funded program for preschool children from low income families living in the following counties: Collin, Ellis, Grayson, Kaufman and Rockwall. The specific school district boundaries include campuses in Crandall, Denison, Ennis, Farmersville, Italy, Kemp, Mabank, Maypearl, McKinney, Pottsboro, Royse City, and Sherman. This comprehensive early childhood program provides services in education, health, social services, nutrition, mental health, and parent/family engagement.
