Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) announced Tuesday, Sept. 21 that Two Rivers Head Start Agency in Aurora has been awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Education for $3,203,837. Two Rivers provides educational and community services for Kane and DeKalb Counties. The grant is to support their Head Start programming, which promotes kindergarten readiness for young children aged three to five years from income-eligible families.
“Research has demonstrated that Pre-K programs are essential to set students up for success in kindergarten and beyond,” said representative Foster. “I’m glad that Two Rivers Head Start here in Aurora is receiving this federal funding so that they can continue to provide early childhood education, along with their family and community support services. In Congress, I’ll keep working to invest in our children and families.”
