Head Start

School readiness for children from the ages of 3 to 5 years old!

What is Head Start?

Our Head Start program promotes the Kindergarten readiness of children aged 3-5 years old from income-eligible families in Kane and DeKalb counties and surrounding areas.

Our Head Start center-based program offers 2 options:

  • Full-Day Session (Sycamore and Aurora centers only), where children attend classes 5 days per week for 6 hours, from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (10 months per year).
  • KEYS Session (Full-Day/Full-Year) is available from 6:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. (11 hours per day, 12 months per year). Children’s attendance varies based on their parents’ work schedules. Weekly co-payments may apply for families needing childcare in the KEYS Session program, but these may be waived for up to three months. Please contact us for more information!
