Alta Head Start set to host community enrollment event at Covelli Centre

Alta Head Start is set to host a free community enrollment event at the Covelli Centre, aiming to connect with the community.

The event will take place on July 10 from noon to 6 p.m. at the Covelli Centre, located at 229 East Front Street, Youngstown.

According to a news release, the event features games, children's activities, vendors and resource providers for prospective Head Start families.

Interested families will also be able to meet with Alta Head Start Family Advocates to learn more about Head Start's services and potentially register for the upcoming year.

The release recommends that families interested in registering must bring proof of residency, proof of income and the enrolling child's proof of birth.

According to the Alta Head Start "About" section on the Alta Care Group website, the program encourages children's growth from birth to age five through services that foster early learning and development, health and family well-being.

Alta is the provider of Head Start and Early Head Start services at over 20 locations though the Mahoning County and Trumbull County areas, serving over 1,100 children each year, according to the release.

"We're looking forward to connecting with members of our Alta Head Start family and the community at this week's event - sharing in some fun and providing helpful information and resources to families," said Lori Stellmar, Alta Head Start Director.
