Please explore the new Champlain Valley Head Start website, and learn about our programs and services, how to enroll in our program, and much more. For CVHS families, or those considering enrolling, we have posted a detailed list of program locations and schedules. We have posted a new series – “Success Stories” – profiling children and families who have made great strides and credit CVHS as key to their success. Also, read about our Special Initiatives around oral health for children, tobacco cessation for parents, and more.

Governor Shumlin is deeply committed to early education, health and family services, and Head Start. In Spring 2011, the Governor took time out of his busy schedule to tour several Champlain Valley Head Start sites and spend quality time with children and staff. Visits to Head Start at Sara Holbrook Community Center in Burlington, and to Head Start and Early Head Start at Champlain Islands Parent Child Center in South Hero, were a tremendous success. Governor Shumlin got right into the action and engaged with children around their projects and activities, and commended staff for their outstanding work with children and families.
