About Us

Since 1966, the Western Dairyland Head Start program has been preparing young children ages three to five to succeed in school and beyond in Buffalo, Eau Claire, Jackson, and Trempealeau counties. The Early Head Start program for infants, toddlers, and pregnant women was added in September 2015. Head Start and Early Head Start programs promote children's development through services that support early learning, health, and family well-being. Learn more about Head Start.

Our Head Start program in Black River Falls has openings for eligible families with children ages 3-5yrs. The Western Dairyland Head Start program has a long standing in the BRF community. We've graduated many children through our program. Here is what one of those families had to say about their Head Start experience: "Head Start has helped our family grow by giving our child an early start at educations, socialization, and classroom expectations. They have given us educational activities each week that everyone can participate in." Apply on our website at www.wdHeadStart.org/apply
