CORTLAND — The Cortland County Community Action Program, Inc. (CAPCO) will use more than $2.5 million in federal funding to support educational programs for children from low-income families.
The federal investment will support CAPCO’s Early Head Start and Head Start programs, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D–N.Y.) said in a Monday news release.
Head Start and Early Head Start programs provide child-development programs for children from birth to age 5, pregnant women, and families.
