Full Ranking Detail
childcare
St. Anthony's Head Start is a SUTQ Gold-rated Head Start center in Steubenville serving income-eligible preschoolers and providing transportation—a valuable asset for Jefferson County families. Licensed by Ohio and federally funded, the center maintains compliance with ODJFS inspections and participates in the USDA Child Care Food Program, with documented school-readiness support across health, nutrition, disabilities, and family partnerships. Operating hours (8:00 AM to 3:30 PM) limit coverage for full-time working families, and a public review from 2015 raised serious concerns about hygiene and parent communication that warrant verification of current operations.
