Matt Cartwright, D-8, Moosic. The grant, through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, will provide 50% of the funding for the agency's annual operations, according to Lindsey Fredericks, a Head Start community advocate. The agency provides assistance to hundreds of children from birth to age 3 as part of its Early Head Start program, as well as hundreds of children of preschool age, from 3 to 5, in the Head Start program, Fredericks said. Head Start is a federally funded program created in 1965. It provides early childhood education and services to low-income children and families. Eligibility is based mostly on income. The grant will allow the agency to provide high-quality, comprehensive, early childhood education for children in Luzerne and Wyoming counties, according to a news release issued by Cartwright's office. Luzerne County Head Start operates more than a dozen centers in Luzerne and Wyoming counties. More information is available on the agency's website: lcheadstart.org. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
