Head Start Worker

HeadStart is a voluntary program offered from Battle River Treaty 6 Health Services. She reads, talks, plays, with you and your children under the age of 3. The head start worker comes into your home for a visit on a weekly basis, during the visit, they bring a kit that contains books, games that are used to stimulate your child's brain through reading, talking and playing with your child. Each week the kit is different and includes a snack for your child. It works on the basis of keeping your child at no further than arms length. Home visits can also be done at the clinic and transportation is provided.
