A free pre-school program is coming to Mercer County in the fall. Project NOW is launching its Head Start program in Aledo. The program is for children ages three to five in income-eligible families. Project NOW Head Start Director Andrea Flannery explains the services provided.
Head Start will hold several informational events in Aledo this summer. Flannery says they’ll be at the Rhubarb Fest in June and host an event at the Aledo Project NOW location open to the public. The date for that has not been set yet. To get set up to apply, you can contact Project NOW at any of their locations, their Facebook page, or their website.
