The Cherokee Nation celebrates the opening of a new Head Start Center in Nowata.
Earlier this week, Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr. and Tribal Councilor Dora Patzkowski joined dignitaries in cutting the ribbon on the $7.3 million, 9,300 square-foot facility.
Chief Hoskin says the Cherokee Nation is committed to continuing investments across the reservation to help all people, Tribal and non-Tribal alike.
The Nowata Head Start building will provide comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition and parent-involvement services to low-income families with children ages 3 and under. The new facility features a storm shelter, commercial kitchen, new early Head Start classrooms, and a playground with shade structure and an eco-green roof.
Cherokee Nation currently serves over 900 children through its Head Start programs.
