Program Services
EHS is an intensive, comprehensive, flexible program that is designed to reinforce and respond to the unique strengths and needs of each individual child and family. The program services include:
Quality early education both in and out of the home
Parenting Education
Comprehensive health and mental health services, including services to women before, during and after pregnancy
Nutrition Education
Family Support Services
Eligibility
Just as with Head Start, Early Head Start is a child development program primarily for low-income families who meet the Federal poverty guidelines. Once enrolled, children are eligible for EHS until 3 years of age.
Family Partnerships
Parents are true partners in the EHS program. They participate in the development of the program's curriculum and approach to child development and education, as well as the individualized plan for their own child's growth and development.
