The full-day program offers services for working families or students that are in need of full daycare. Full-day offers the same variety of learning experiences as the part day in addition to a rest period and extended learning opportunities.

The home base option includes weekly home visits by a Head Start home visitor. The visits are focused on child development and parent-child interactions. Families meet twice a month for parent-child activity times. At the activity times, parents and children engage in developmentally appropriate learning experiences and a family-style meal.
Parents may participate in a parent meeting to discuss and learn about topics of interest or concern. The home base option is available in Granite, Mineral, Powell, and Sanders Counties.
