ECERS Check

Pea Ridge

 

 

Our center continues to grow just as our community is.   We have grown from serving 17 to 36 children and their families.  Although our community has more than doubled in size, we are still a small community whose citizens are willing to help one another. We are located directly across from the high school football field. Once a cow pasture, we now have houses and a rapidly developing residential area for neighbors.  Our center employs 6 hard working staff members.  We are a State of Arkansas accredited child care facility.  We strive to provide quality services to our community, children and their families.  By providing these needed, quality services we help to ensure Pea Ridge Head Start children and their families succeed. 

Volunteers:

  • Beta Alpha: has been helping since Head Start opened in Pea Ridge. They help fill our want/need list every year.
  • VFW Members: provide our children with winter and spring baskets filled with a variety of items.
  • Brightwater Methodist Church: members stock our parent food pantry to overflowing and bring in paper products.
  • Bekaert Employees: provide food and winter needs for our families
 

ECERS Accredited

Our location is a State Quality Approved childcare facility, providing a higher quality overall program. Given this designation, we have been proven to not only meet, but exceed the standards providing:
  • A program that views parents as an important part of the early education of their children,
  • A physical environment that is supportive of the physical and mental development of each child in our care,
  • An educational program that prepares children for success in school,
  • Trained professional staff who know how to work effectively with children and who continue to pursue educational and training opportunities.

Door Entry Security

kes_02.jpgOur Keyless Entry System limits access to our Head Start centers by allowing entry only to authorized staff and families. Unique ID codes are assigned to each person. Codes may be disabled at any time providing a safe, secure environment for children and peace of mind for parents. Our system keeps a live record of who enters our buildings allowing us to monitor building access in real time or by printing a daily log. Each ID code may also be placed on a restricted list directly from our center computer.
