Several thousand Tristate children could benefit from a $200,000 grant awarded to a partnership that includes the University of Cincinnati and Head Start agencies in Ohio and Northern Kentucky.

        Federal funding will pay for UC, the Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency Head Start program, Clermont County Head Start and Northern Kentucky Community Action Agency Head Start to work together on maximizing the effectiveness of Head Start, the preschool program that assists low-income families.

        The collaboration will research how Head Start children are learning and provide professional development for Head Start teachers and staffs.

        Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency serves about 5,000 families each year; Clermont County Head Start serves about 600 families; and Northern Kentucky Head Start serves 444 families annually in four counties; UC's Arlitt Child and Family Research and Education Center serves 99 Head Start children a year.
