Head Start / Pre-K
|
About Early Head Start The Early Head Start program was established to serve low income pregnant women and children from birth to three years of age in recognition of the mounting evidence that the earliest years matter a great deal to a child's long term development. College Station EHS uses a home base model which places a home visitor in the home (the child's natural learning environment) for 90 minutes weekly. Home visits address the needs of the child and family in the areas of child development, education, health, nutrition, mental health and safety. Home visitors support families in identifying strengths and achieving personal goals. EHS also links families with community resources who can best meet their individual needs. Early Head Start also provides weekly "socializations" or play groups to support child development through strengthening the relationship between parent and child. Activities for parent and child encourage free exploration, early literacy, fine and gross motor development. CSISD Early Head Start is a federally funded program.
