Head Start Program Details, hours, photos, information: Peace Head Start

The education component blends together guidelines from Head Start Performance Standards, State of Wisconsin rules for Group Day Care and the Active Learning Philosophy of the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation for Young Children.

Preschool-aged children ages 3, 4 and 5 are engaged in one of several options most appropriate for their development.  Each option provides opportunities for stories, music, poetry, beginning social studies, math, science and language development.

Program Options:

1. Classroom Program

UW Oshkosh Head Start offers several options for children enrolling in the classroom program:

    -Half Day Session:  This is a three and a half hour day program offered Monday through Thursday in either the morning or afternoon at one of 10 UW Oshkosh Head Start sites.
    -Extended Day Session:  This is a six hour, four day per week program offered at one of 10 UW Oshkosh Head Start sites.
    -4K or Pre-Kindergarten:  This is an extended day program that provides both a Head Start teacher as well as a public school teacher and offers enhanced services to Head Start eligible children.  Currently all public school collaborations are held at Head Start sites.
    -Child Care Collaborations:  This is an extended day program that meets family's needs for full day child care and eliminates the transition from the Head Start program site to the child care site.  Enrolled children receive both child care and Head Start in their child care setting.

2. Home Based Program

The home based program option offers all the services the classroom program provides and meets all of the appropriate program performance standards.

3. Combination Program:

The combination program allows enrolled children to participate in a half day classroom experience twice a week and are visited in their homes twice each month.  This option is only available at the St. B's site in Appleton.
