Jack G. Koontz Head Start Center

 

 

The Yadkin Valley Economic Development District, Incorporated (YVEDDI) Head
Start Program would like to announce the Grand Opening of the Jack G. Koontz
Head Start Center at 7131 NC Highway 801 South, Mocksville, NC on Friday,
January 6, 2012, at 2:00 p.m.

This new child development facility can serve up to 36 preschool children in
2 classrooms. Services will exemplify the true spirit of collaboration in a
blended approach utilizing funds from Head Start, NCPK, and the local county
to deliver the deepest quality of services! Children and families served
here will be the neediest of the needy, meeting 100% of the Poverty Index
Guidelines, and will include children who are homeless or have special
needs. In addition to a structured educational setting that aligns with
school readiness goals, service delivery will include health, mental health,
dental, social services, transportation, and a comprehensive parent
involvement program.

YVEDDI actually owns the facility, as compared to renting from landlords in
many other locations. Ownership will afford YVEDDI the opportunity to build
partial equity/assets in the building, avoiding rent or lease payments. The
new center will provide a more positive learning environment for children,
will save money, and at the same time properly maintain the property in a
more cost efficient manner. Staff and parents are extremely excited with
the renovations taking place and are ecstatic about serving children in the
"first ever" YVEDDI owned facility designed specifically for young children,
therefore, promoting the highest quality educational opportunities.

Additionally, we are thrilled to be naming this center after our YVEDDI
Board Chair, Jack G. Koontz, whose tireless contributions and dedication
helped to make this project possible.

7185 Hwy 801 South, Mocksville, NC

A shuttle bus will be available.
