KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The YMCA is in the Nonprofit Spotlight for its Head Start Program. FOX4's Kathy Quinn visited one of five YMCA locations where they have the program. Their locations are spread out through Jackson, Clay and Platte County and they serve kids from six weeks to age five for low-income families.

"Our goal is to create a school family so that they have a connection here with each of their teachers and everyone here." said Genevieve Muncy of the Head Start program. "That promotes social and emotional learning skills so that they feel safe, they feel connected, and they're ready to learn."
