Operation Breakthrough, Inc.

Operation Breakthrough, Inc. is a non-profit organization that provides Head Start, Early Head Start, and child care services to children and families. Through federal grants, primarily as a subrecipient to the Mid America Regional Council, Operation Breakthrough serves as a Head Start and Early Head Start delegate agency, providing early childhood education, health, nutrition, and family well-being services.

Specific federal grant-funded services Operation Breakthrough has delivered as a subrecipient include operating Head Start and Early Head Start centers, providing meals and snacks for children, serving pregnant women, infants, and families through the Early Head Start program, and monitoring, training, and assisting child care providers in nutrition and meal services. Major federal grants supporting Operation Breakthrough's work have been awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services under the Head Start program. In addition to the Mid America Regional Council as the prime recipient, Operation Breakthrough has also partnered with the City of Kansas City, Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, and potentially other prime recipients to deliver subrecipient services under federal grants. The scope of services focuses on early childhood development, family support services, child health and nutrition, and child care provider training and assistance.
