welcome
We enhance opportunities for success by inspiring each child’s love of learning, partnering with families, advocating for equity, and fostering a connection to community.
Dedicated Educators
Our Teachers assess the progression of language and literacy, cognition and general knowledge, critical thinking, approaches toward learning, physical well-being and motor development along with social-emotional development of our children.
Our Approach
Berkshire County Head Start’s health and safety focus encompasses early detection, screening, preventive health education, and assisting children and families with obtaining a primary medical and dental home.
Berkshire County Head Start’s new program, Resources to
Empower and Advocate for Children & Households (REACH),
provides access to affordable childcare, dedicated family
support, community resources and health/wellness partners.
For eligible children and families, REACH provides:
- Free full-day childcare and transportation
- Dedicated advocates who work with families to identify needs and accomplish goals
- Access to additional community resources
- Financial assistance for transportation and fees for obtaining IDs and other documentation
REACH is a Berkshire County Head Start program funded by the City of Pittsfield through the ARPA grant. Contact Carrie Dupuis at cdupuis@berkhs.org for more information.
