Day care plan for Washington could lose federal funds
The Head Start program support for a local day care center in Washington faces a setback as CAP loses facility space. If new space isn’t found by January 1, federal funds from the Office of Economic Opportunity may be withdrawn, jeopardizing the project and prompting a shift to a center outside Washington. The plan aims to run 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. for 3 to 5 year olds with medical and dental care, transportation not provided, and shared funding with community support.
