About Head Start:    

Fremont Community Schools is a Federally funded
program for low-income families for their preschool
age children ages 3-5.

FCS Head Start provides services for free for qualifying families. 

Head Start provides a successful preschool program, but also provides    
nutrition, health and support services to children and their families.

Family involvement is a big part of Head Start.  Parents are encouraged to attend Parent/Teacher Conferences held twice a year. 

Parents can also be involved by being a Policy Council Member. 

Thank you for your interest in being an employee with Head Start . Our program requires all potential employees, including substitute teaching applicants, to obtain an Expanded Criminal History prior to beginning employment with the School Corporation.
