Floyd County Schools (FCS) Early Childhood Program offers high-quality educational experiences for three- and four-year-old children. The program is designed to prepare children socially, physically, emotionally, and educationally for elementary school.

We offer a full-day program from 8:00 AM until 2:45 PM when Floyd County Schools are in session.  Full day services are free to eligible families.  Student progress records are used to measure skill development and mastery.  The Early Childhood curriculum supports the smooth transition to elementary school following completion of the Early Childhood Program.  Home visits and conferences with parents and guardians are important activities in the Early Childhood Program. 

With an emphasis on parent involvement, all Head Start/Preschool classes are designed to make the most of children’s early learning capabilities and to prepare children for Kindergarten and the Primary Program. 

The Early Childhood Program in Floyd County Schools is a blended program – providing services through both Head Start and State Preschool funds.  Federally funded, Head Start serves children from low-income families who meet eligibility guidelines.  Applicants must be three or four years old by August 1st of the program year. The students participating in the State Preschool program are funded through the Kentucky Department of Education.  Students must be four years of age by August 1st of the program year and must meet specific criteria for admission.
