Early Head Start

Early Head Start is a federal program serving families in the Houston County area.  The program assists families in:

• Meeting the needs of their growing infants and toddlers.
• Meeting family goals for success and self-sufficiency.
• Identifying community resources that are available to them.

Services are provided in two settings; Centerbased childcare services at 545 West Main Street and our Homebased Early Head Start Staff visit families at their homes.

Who can participate?

•     Early Head Start serves pregnant women and families with infants and toddlers up to age three
•     Are you working or in school?

The Early Head Start Program provides Center or Home-Based, year-round, full day, full-week, child care in a licensed center at no cost to parents with limited income.  The Center-Based program provides educational, health, social service programs, nutritious meals, and individual/group activities to infants/toddlers.  Children with special needs are also served.
