Parent Involvement
Research shows a strong connection between parent involvement and children’s academic success.  In fact, studies have shown that the earlier in a child’s educational process parent involvement begins, the more powerful the impact.

GCS plans various parent involvement events throughout the school year.  Make sure you are communicating frequently with your child’s teacher and following your child's school and the district on social media platforms.

We would love to have you involved in our program!

You can also help your child at home with these terrific resources from the KY Dept. of Education.

Head Start programs promote school readiness of children ages birth to 5 from low-income families by supporting their development in a comprehensive way.

First Steps is an early intervention program offered to families of Kentucky children aged birth-3 years who are identified as having possible developmental issues or delays or have a medical condition known to cause a developmental delay.

Anyone can refer a child to the First Steps program by contacting the local First Steps Point of Entry (POE) office at (270) 737-5921 or (800) 678-1879.
