An Initiative From:

The Batesville School District is located in Northcentral Arkansas in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. The chief function of th District is to provide and instructional program that meets the needs of all students.

The Batesville School District has an enrollment of 2080 Kindergarten through 12th grade and 90 pre-school children. The District has eight campuses: high school, junior high, middle school, three elementary and a kindergarten / early childhood center.

The Batesville Preschool, Parents As Teachers Program, Family Resource Center, Before and After School Program, and the STAR (Summer To Always Remember) Program are all located on the Kindergarten / Early Childhood Campus. In addition to the District Preschool, space is provided for five Headstart classrooms on three sites.

Through Children of Northcentral Arkansas and the Early Child Education Staff, we are able to offer a strong resource network for childcare providers in our community. We offer a lending library with on site delivery and pick-up, consultation services with certified staff and local workshops, and trainings to assist in providing information locally.

Our strongest areas are the Preschool Program, Before and After School Program, STAR Program, the Childcare Provider Network and the collaboration with the community. The PAT Program has been operating only five months, but it is growing very rapidly.

Please see Batesville's website for more information on their program.
