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

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.
