Serves pregnant women and children 0-3 years old.

Early Head Start is a home-based program where families get regular, personalized, one-on-one information to help them understand and enhance their baby’s growth and development. It also includes weekly opportunities to socialize with other families with infants and toddlers at our Center in a fun and stimulating environment. In addition, families are provided with the information they need about resources to help them toward their desired goals. Early Head Start focuses on child development, nutrition, parenting, attachment, and health; as well as providing information about literacy, employability and meeting educational goals.
