Tri-County prides itself in community involvement. Head Start has successfully partnered with the San Augustine Independent School District where we serve 80 Head Start children in four ISD classrooms.

Mary Jo Gordon also provides families with homes on campus, training for young mothers, resources to assist parents in becoming self-sufficient, and after care programs for foster children. Tri-County Head Start partners with local colleges such as Angelina, Stephen F. Austin and Panola to ensure our staff and parents have the educational opportunities to accomplish their goals. Tri-County works with these same colleges to place interns at our Head Start Centers so they can experience quality Child Development Services in the everyday setting. Tri-County is committed to providing excellent educational services to children through our School Readiness Program. Children are assessed and followed through their achievements and outcomes are monitored three times a year. Families are kept informed of their childs individual goals and achievements throughout the program year. This ties in very closely with our Family Engagement Program. This program sets goals for families in seven outcome areas; Family Well-Being, Positive Parent-Child Relationships, Families as Lifelong Educators, Families as Learners, Family Engagement in Transaction, Family Connections to Peers and Community and Families as Advocates and Learners. Family Outcomes play a huge role in the success of the child and the ability of the family to move forward once they have completed the Head Start Program. Tri-County Head Start/Early Head Start vision/mission statement is: Provide quality child development services that promote health, education, and development to children and families in our communities to foster partnerships with other agencies to meet the needs of diverse families in a rapidly changing world. 2463696 6035 Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program - During the 2013/2014 program year TCCA, Inc. assisted approximately 8,249 households (including seniors, disabled individuals, children 5 or under).

TCCA currently has no unrelated business income.
