Head Start
Partners In Early Childhood
Butler County Educational Service Center Head Start is a federally-funded preschool program for children ages 3-5. With centers located in communities throughout Butler and Preble counties, our child and family-focused Head Start Program has the overall goal of increasing the school readiness and social competence of young children.
Our Head Start Program is built upon the understanding that the development of young children is deeply influenced by their family, their community and their early educational experiences. We are dedicated to preparing preschoolers to take on the challenges of kindergarten.
Therapeutic Interagency Preschool (TIP) Program
Our Head Start Program also offers the Therapeutic Interagency Preschool (TIP) Program for children involved with Butler County Children Services. TIP provides trauma-focused, year-round Head Start preschool and mental health counseling services to all children who qualify within Butler County.
Contact TIP Program Director Ashley Dobrozsi-Ferguson at (513) 737-2817 ext. 24 to learn more or make a referral.
