Head Start of Yamhill County

What Head Start of Yamhill County does

Head Start of Yamhill County (HSYC) is a private nonprofit organization operating the federally funded Head Start program for Yamhill County, Oregon. The organization is supported by Grant Number 10CH012376 from the Office of Head Start within the Administration for Children and Families, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and delivers services at no cost to qualifying expectant mothers and families with children from birth to age five who meet federal poverty and eligibility guidelines. HSYC operates from a single administrative headquarters in McMinnville and runs seven physical centers—located in McMinnville, Newberg, Sheridan, and Lafayette—comprising sixteen classrooms either owned outright or held under long-term leases.

The service portfolio consists of four core programs and a layer of support services. The core programs are: Head Start preschool (ages 3-5) focused on school readiness through hands-on learning; Early Head Start, a year-round program for infants, toddlers, and pregnant persons delivered in both center-based and home-based formats (with weekly family-educator home visits and an auto-enrollment feature for newborns of prenatal enrollees); Toddler Classes for two-year-olds meeting specified age thresholds; and a Home-Based and Prenatal Program covering expectant families through postpartum. Support services include health screenings (hearing, vision, dental), USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program–compliant nutrition, transportation, family services, specialized services for children with developmental delays or disabilities, and a Volunteer Program. The full service layer is delivered bilingually in English and Spanish. The technology footprint is minimal: a content/enrollment website (yamhillheadstart.org) with online enrollment application, no mobile app, no disclosed API/SDK, and no AI/ML components.

Go-to-market is community-led, driven by word-of-mouth, parent referrals, partnerships with local community organizations, and direct outreach to eligible families. Revenue mechanics are single-source: the disclosed revenue stream is federal Head Start grant funding, with the program offered free to qualifying families and only modest auxiliary donation/advocacy channels. Governance is exercised through a Board of Directors (including President Tyler Yeoman-Millette, Vice President/Secretary Davey Altree, Treasurer Larry Soderberg, and members Paul Davis, Sandra Emmett, Stephanie Findley, Brad Lunt, Margaret Miller, Miriam Vargas Corona) and a Parent Policy Council comprising currently enrolled parents and community representatives.
