Head Start aids Bennington families to break poverty cycle
The Bennington Rutland Opportunity Council’s Head Start program helps 28 children with transportation, medical and dental care, daily snacks and learning experiences. Parents like Lou and Dorothy Stanley shift from volunteers to staff roles, while community aides and college volunteers support classrooms and field trips. The program seeks additional funding, buses, and broader reach in Vermont’s two counties.
