“My daughter was a late speaker before she joined Head Start. She had a lot of trouble expressing herself, and we were deeply worried about her development.

Since attending Head Start, she has shown real improvement. While she still has some difficulty with speech, the difference is like night and day compared to how she was before. She can now communicate much better, is more confident, and enjoys interacting with others.”

The Science of Reading is research that shows the best ways to help children learn to read. It focuses on teaching skills like letter sounds, word recognition, and comprehension.

Using these proven methods helps kids build strong reading skills, set them up for school success, and give them confidence in learning.

From our Carlisle Early Learning Center:

Our toddlers have been busy becoming little book explorers! Whether they are “reading” upside down, chasing monsters in the room, or just turning pages, each of these silly moments are building early literacy skills.

Thank you United Way of Warren County for loving on our children and their families! Thank you to all of the area businesses that contributed to make this season bright for so many! ❤️

Our first toy delivery of the season is officially complete! 🎁

Today, we delivered over 200 toys to Warren County Community Services, Inc. (WCCS) - to be shared with youth right here in our community.

We’re incredibly grateful to ADVICS North America Aftermarket, Haag Streit USA, and Miami Valley Gaming for their generous toy donations. Your support helps bring joy, comfort, and smiles to so many children this season. 💙

This is just the beginning!

How is our TIP (Therapeutic Interagency Preschool) different from typical preschools?

✨Smaller ratios (4:1) — Kids get more one-on-one attention and support as they build social–emotional skills.

💪Strong community partnerships such as with HTC Dayton, who provides essentials for our families in need. One family recently said being able to receive the clothing order will help them be able to save money for Christmas!

🚌 Transportation — Children can ride a school bus to TIP, and a teacher also rides along and provides support.

🌱 Extended School Year - Additional summer programming helps maintain therapeutic support, provides consistent routines and supports families

❤ Therapy during the school day — This removes a major barrier for busy families and ensures kids get the help they need right where they are.

These are among the many ways TIP helps children who have experienced trauma build stability, resilience, and readiness for long-term success and well-being 💙

When trauma happens early in life, it can shape everything—from behavior and emotions to long-term learning. Because young children often cannot verbalize or process trauma, early intervention is vital.

Our Therapeutic Interagency Preschool (TIP) program steps in early, offering children a nurturing, predictable space paired with mental health counseling, family support, and individualized care.

With a low 4:1 child-to-teacher ratio, our team builds trust and helps kids develop self-regulation, problem-solving, and social-emotional skills.

In 2024-2025, TIP had an 80% success rate by children maintaining 85% or more of attendance, being enrolled until the end of the program, and getting connected to additional support.

Early Intervention is powerful, and proven to make a big difference!
