🌟 NOW ENROLLING 3-5 YEAR OLDS! 🌟

Looking for a fun, nurturing, and high-quality preschool program for your child? ❤️ Morgan County Head Start is now enrolling for the upcoming school year, and we'd love to welcome your family!

📍 Morgan County Head Start
14060 Red Hollow Rd.
Gravois Mills, MO

✨ Why families love Morgan County Head Start:
🍎 FREE breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack
📚 HighScope Curriculum that encourages hands-on learning
💛 Conscious Discipline approach that helps children build social-emotional skills, confidence, and self-regulation
🕢 Open Tuesday-Friday | 7:30 AM-4:30 PM
📅 Open year-round to meet your family's needs!

💲 We accept Child Care Subsidy!
Your cost is simply what the State determines you pay. For example, if your assigned copay is $5 per day, you'll only pay $20 per week for four days of care.

🎉 Need a flexible schedule? We've got you covered!
✔️ Does your child attend Little Tigers two days a week? They can attend Head Start the other two days—you only pay for the days they're scheduled with us!
✔️ Do your children follow a shared custody schedule where they stay with one parent one week and the other parent the next? We can work with those schedules, too!

At Morgan County Head Start, we're committed to helping every child grow, learn, and thrive in a caring, engaging environment while supporting the unique needs of every family.

📞 Spaces are limited! Apply today at https://cmca.us/get-help/early-childhood-education/ to begin the enrollment process. If you have questions please call 573-505-0253. We can't wait to meet your little learner! ❤️

Join us for a morning at the pool, where you’ll find local vendors, valuable resources, and your breastfeeding support team! We are truly proud to honor this special day dedicated to you!

Hope to see you there!

🍼👶 Central Missouri Community Action's (CMCA)-Women and Infant Relief Fund (WIRF) is currently preparing for our annual Bingo for Babies event, happening Thursday, May 7, 2026, at Sentinel Park in the Arcade District.
This event raises vital funds for the Women and Infant Relief Fund (WIRF), which provides essential support to expecting and newly delivered mothers with low incomes across our 11-county service area. 🤰🍼
WIRF helps families with diapers, wipes, car seats, cribs, safety gear, breastfeeding supplies, and much more. It also supports educational baby showers for families enrolled or on the waiting list for Early Head Start/Head Start and works closely with Family Support Coordinators to assist families experiencing crises.
We are reaching out to individuals and businesses in our community to request donations such as gift cards, raffle items, or themed baskets that can be used during our event. Additionally, we are seeking community partners interested in becoming event sponsors. Sponsorship opportunities include special promotional perks that allow us to highlight your business or services while you help support some of the most vulnerable mothers and children in our area.
If you are able to contribute in any way, please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or to arrange pickup/delivery of a donated item.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to give back to families in our community! ❤️
