Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Elise Stefanik today announced L.E.A.P., a nonprofit community action program that serves Washington County, will receive a $2,313,724 grant for their Head Start and Early Head Start Projects to support early childhood education.
“I am proud to announce that over $two million in taxpayer dollars will return to our district to improve the education and development of children in Washington County,” Stefanik said. “Community-based programs like Head Start are critical to equipping North Country families for a strong start to their children’s life.”
The council has five operating centers across Washington County, serving hundreds of children by providing education resources and support for them and their families.
