Early Head Start Home Based Program:
The Early Head Start Home Based services are for pregnant moms and children birth to three years old. Services include a combination of weekly home visits and socialization experiences (class time) twice a month for two and a half hours. Child-focused home visits are individualized to help parents support their child’s growth and development. Parents are required to stay with the child at the socializations and participate in the home visits.
Pregnant women enrolled in Early Head Start have individualized home visits that promote healthy prenatal outcomes and help them prepare for the arrival of the child. Upon delivery, the child is then enrolled in Early Head Start and services continue.
Capacity: 10 children

Head Start provides a free, early intervention program to low-income, at-risk children, 3-5 years of age and their families. Each child receives a developmental, hearing, vision, and health screening. Our program provides activities that address the child’s cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development to help prepare the child for success in school and in life. All Head Start classes are for 4 hours and include a meal and a snack. Classrooms operate either three or four days a week with both morning and afternoon sessions. Classrooms that operate three days a week and include a home visit once a month to work on individualized school readiness goals for the child.
We recognize parents as a child’s first and most important teacher. By partnering with parents, we can help prepare children for success in school and in life. Parents are always welcome and encouraged to participate in classroom and other center activities.
