Early Head Start

Early Head Start was established under the 1994 Head Start Reauthorization Act to serve low-income pregnant women and families with infants and toddlers.  This program is family centered, community based, and designed to enhance children's physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development.

Early Head Start supports parents in fulfilling their parental roles and helps them move toward economic independence.  Programs respond to the unique strengths and needs of their communities and of each child and family within that community.  They have a broad range of flexibility in how they provide their services.  Early Head Start also offers families of young children with disabilities or developmental delays an inclusive environment.

Participation in this program is based on referrals such as Head Start Programs and Early Head Start program centers.
