Transportation Service Area

Our program directly provides bus transportation to Head Start center-based families in Barbour, Marion and Taylor counties to get children to and from school. Head Start families in Preston, Pocahontas, Randolph and Webster are provided transportation by the county Board of Education to get their child to and from school. Head Start Family Engagement staff provide contact information for Dept. of Education school bus transportation services to all applicable families for questions and concerns. Early Head Start center-based children are transported by county Board of Education school bus or by parent transport depending on the applicable family. Family Engagement staff for Early Head Start home-based families also provide transportation to socializations and parent events through an agency vehicle on an individual rotating basis for those families that cannot transport themselves. Staff also provide transportation for families to obtain health records or meet other appointments as part of requirements of the program.
