It’s Never too EARLY
for a Head Start
Early Head Start programs provide similar services as preschool Head Start programs, but they are tailored for the unique needs of infants and toddlers. Early Head Start programs promote the physical, cognitive, social and emotional development of infants and toddlers through safe and developmentally enriching caregiving. This prepares these children for continued growth and development and eventual success in school and life.
Following the general Head Start model, Early Head Start programs support parents, both mothers and fathers, in their role as primary caregivers and teachers of their children. Programs assist families in meeting their own personal goals and achieving self-sufficiency across a wide variety of domains, such as housing stability, continued education, and financial security.
FREE TO ELIGIBLE FAMILIES!
HOME-BASED program for pregnant women in their 3rd trimester and infants/toddlers 0-3 years of age.
Through a weekly visit to your home, and two playgroups a month, Early Head Start staff will help you accomplish the following.
· Prepare for the birth of your child.
· Enhance the growth of infants, toddlers, and children.
· Development of effective parenting skills.
· Collaborate with community agencies in supporting needs and goals.
