An Equal Opportunity Program
We offer emergency repair or replacement for heating and A/C units for homeowners who qualify as low-income due to potentially hazardous conditions.
Head Start provides free comprehensive early childhood education services in a classroom setting while engaging families.
This is a free home-based program in which family advocates provide a weekly home visit and offer comprehensive services.
We offer an Early Head Start center-based program that provides comprehensive services beyond the classroom for prenatal parents and their children up to age three. We are located in Jefferson County at Kids Connection Daycare and Saline County at Blue River Family Center.
This is safe and supervised out of school time programming including academic support, STEM projects, recreational games, and positive peer connections.
We are here for center-based daycares and in-home daycares looking for coaching and support on licensing, child development, and more.
All scholarships will be in the amount of $1,000 and can be used for tuition, books and fees associated with enrollment. Three scholarships will be awarded.
Low-income families are able to reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient through our weatherization services.
The Purchase-Rehab/Lease Purchase Program allows potential homeowners a two-year leasing window to prepare for homeownership while being provided the opportunity to save for a down payment.
BVCA is excited to celebrate early learning, young children, their teachers, and families during the Week of the Young Child® June 6-12. Today we know more than ever before about the importance of children’s earliest years in shaping their learning and development. Yet, never before have the needs of young children and their families been more pressing. The Week of the Young Child® is a time to recognize that children’s opportunities are our responsibilities, and to recommit ourselves to ensuring that each and every child experiences the type of early environment—at home, at child care, at school, and in the community—that will promote their early learning. Check out our Head Start, Early Head Start and Early Head Start-Child Care Programs for more information about the early learning programs we offer. Visit our Facebook page as well as our various Head Start Facebook pages to see what our centers are up to during the Week of the Young Child®.
