Is the preschool program a Head Start Program?
Hardin County Schools offers a state funded preschool program in every elementary school. This is not a Head Start program. However, at five of our elementary schools (Meadow View, New Highland, Parkway, Vine Grove and Woodland) we have what is called a blended preschool program. The preschool programs in these schools are partially funded and staffed by both Hardin County Schools’ teachers (funded by the state) and the Head Start preschool program. Although not all children in these schools will qualify for the Head Start Program, all of the children benefit from blended services. These services include dental screenings and additional opportunities for family intervention.
