Head Start Book Campaign Donation

Community Action of Orleans and Genesee’s Head Start Program is joining forces to celebrate the Week of the Young Child – April 10-16 with the Nation Association for Education of Young Children, (NAEYC). The local Head Start program serves over 250 young children, ages birth – 5 years, and their parents in Orleans and Genesee counties. Like NAEYC, Head Start programs are committed to delivering best practice early childhood education that help young children thrive and learn in an environment dedicated to ensuring children reach their full potential.

The 2021 Head Start Book Fund Campaign, (Build a Library … Create a Reader), will put books in the homes of local Head Start Children on a monthly basis. Esther Leadley, long time active member of the Community Action Board of Directors, has worked tirelessly in advocating for the “Young Child” throughout her career. Her enthusiasm and passion for young children has initiated the Head Start Book Fund Campaign where children exposed to more books can increase their vocabulary and nurture beginner reading skills. “It’s about our local children and their future. I hope other will join me in this annual project that “build home libraries and helps create readers for our Head Start children”.

Head Start donors can help “create reader” with a $60 donation that will ensure one take home book for one local Head Start child for each of 12 months. $120 will ensure a take home book for two Head Start children; one book for each of 12 months.
