Waco Charter School The Waco Charter School is based on the philosophy that all students can learn and become master students and that education lasts a lifetime. The goal of the Charter School is to provide a quality education for every student, to the extent that each student has the skills, knowledge, and values needed to become productive and contributing citizens. The comprehensive school plan includes all areas of academic curriculum Community Programming was designed to meet the increasing need for emergency aid and resource referral. This EOAC component intervenes to keep families from being displaced and to help families reach self-sufficiency. Services are provided through programs such as the Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program, Heating and Cooling, and the Emergency Homeless Program. Community Programming provides prevention and intervention services to children and families in need. Another important aspect is to help the community become aware of the variety of service agencies available at the local level and to link families with community services. Employees work closely with applicants to refer them to other agencies providing services, to link services when possible, and to form partnerships with the public and private sector. Head Start/Early Head Start What started out as a summer project that enrolled 185 children in 1965, EOAC Head Start has grown into a comprehensive child development program for three and four year old children. The program provides educational, social, nutritional, health and transportation services each year for over 900 children from income eligible families in McLennan and Falls Counties. Both Head Start and Early Head Start is commited to serving low-income children, including infants, toddlers and children with disabilities. Child Care Management Services The Child Care Services provide subsidies to assist worling families and parents with job training in Bosque, Freestone, Limestone, Hill, Falls and McLennan Counties. Through a grant from the Heart of Texas Workforce Development Board, eligible families make informed choices for child care and receive assistance paying for the care on a sliding scale.

Weatherization The Weatherization Program provides assistance to low-income households by weatherizing their homes to promote energy conservation and to reduce the impact of high utility costs. Weatherizing includes caulking around windows, weather-stripping windows and doors, repairing broken windows, insulating attics, and skirting. Priority is given to the elderly, the disabled, and families with small children. The Weatherization Project is active in McLennan, Bosque, Freestone, Limestone, Hill and Falls Counties.
