text: is anyone from the johnstown area who has children in a headstart program? my son has been in a daycare that i worked at since he was an infant. i no longer work there and was thinking about getting him in a head start program to get ready for big school when he gets older. he'll be 4 in july. what is the best program? i worked for leads headstart in newark for 16  years. i would recomend it 100%. they learn so much that will help them the rest of their lives. i've talked to sever of the children, now adults, and they say that they are so glad that they got that "head start".  public school bus drivers too have told me that they can tell which kids have been to headstart. teachers have had nothing but good to say about students that they have gotten from headstart. try it out. you won't be sorry.
