Preschool Details: The Early Head Start program involves parents and the community in four key component areas: Education, Health, Mental Health, Family Engagement. EHS is a program for children, their parents, and pregnant mothers. This program was designed to promote interaction between parents and their children through socializations and parent/child educational activities in the home. Our home based option offers a weekly home visit and socializations twice per month. We use the curriculum Parents as Teachers for our home based option. This curriculum is designed for all families aimed at helping parents give their children a solid foundation for school success and at forming a closer working relationship between home and school. It is based on the philosophy that parents are children's first and most influential teachers. FIT Days are offered twice monthly, which includes child/parent activities, training, and/or learning experiences for the parents as well as the children. Also, weekly (hour and a half) home visits will be scheduled. Our trained staff can help refer you to the appropriate agencies for you to get your Adult Basic Literacy Skills, GED or other training.
Eligible Requirements: Eligibility is determined by local program staff. Your family may be eligible for Head Start or Early Head Start services if your family's income is determined to be at or below the federal poverty level. Programs may enroll some children from families whose incomes are higher than the federal poverty level if they meet other eligibility requirements. Families with circumstances such as homelessness, children in foster care, or receiving TANF or SSI may also qualify for services.
Age Requirements:
How to Apply: In order to process your child’s application and determine eligibility, we need a copy of the enrolling child’s birth certificate and documentation that best reflects your family’s annual gross income.
