Program provides a head start for West TN families
MCKENZIE, Tenn. — One organization is offering a program that will benefit early childhood development.
Northwest TN Economic Development Council is a local community action agency.
Head Start is one of the programs that falls in the council. The program provides early childhood development and health services to low-income infants, toddlers, three and four-year-olds as well as their families.
The program provides a full day of services within their nine county service area.
“I’ve also been a parent and grandparent, so I am a success story of Head Start. I’m very passionate about the work that we do in Head Start and I’ve seen a lot of things happen within the past 30 years in the program,” said Cheryl Oglesby-Townes, Executive Director, Northwest TN Economic Development Council.
There are facilities located in Benton, Carroll, Dyer, Gibson, Henry, Lake, Obion, Madison and Weakley counties.
