Head start and day care services: the overall goal of the early childhood program is to bring about a greater degree of social competence in children. Social competence means the child's everyday effectiveness in dealing with both the present environment and later responsibilities in school and life.

Ultimately, the early childhood program is here to help Pike County's low-income residents solve some of their existing economic and social problems.
