Astor Home

Astor Home in Wappingers Falls, NY, houses the Head Start program, a federally funded preschool initiative catering to low-income children and those with disabilities. The program offers two options: home-based visits for children from prenatal to 5 years old and center-based activities for ages 18 months to 5 years old, promoting social and emotional development and school readiness.

Special services like Special Class Integrated Setting (SCIS) and Therapeutic Preschool are available, tailored to children with specific needs in social and emotional skills. Eligibility is primarily based on family income, with additional support for children in foster care, experiencing homelessness, or from families receiving public assistance.

To participate, families need to provide documentation such as proof of income, birth certificate, and medical records. Interested parents can reach out to the nearest center or fill out an interest form for their child to join the Head Start or Early Head Start program, fostering a nurturing environment for early childhood development.
