The federal Project Grant award of $1,328,239 from the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families (CFDA 93.600 Head Start) supports the Migrant and Seasonal Head Start program operated by the Community Action Program for Central Arkansas (CAPCA), a non-profit organization. This five-year grant, effective from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2030, will allow CAPCA to provide comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and family support services to low-income pregnant women, infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children in Arkansas. As a sub-grantee, CAPCA has also participated in projects such as providing short-term rental assistance to 163 low to moderate-income families. The Head Start program aims to promote school readiness by enhancing the cognitive, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional development of children from disadvantaged backgrounds prior to their entry into kindergarten.
