List: Head Start program registration information for counties across Central Georgia

The program is available for no cost to kids aged 3-5 years old in eligible families.

MACON, Ga. — All over central Georgia, several kids have the opportunity to get a "head start" from a young age.

The Head Start program is designed to "support children's growth from birth to age 5 through services that support early learning and development, health, and family well-being. Head Start staff actively engage parents, recognizing family participation throughout the program as key to strong child outcomes," according to their website.

The program is available for no cost to kids aged 3-5 years old in eligible families.

The Macon-Bibb County Economic Opportunity Council (MBEOC) says the program helps children with a range of services, like medical, dental, and mental health, nutrition, parent involvement and family support, and literacy.

To find out more about eligibility and enrollment in Bibb and Monroe Counties, you can visit the Macon-Bibb EOC website.
