PARENT INFORMATION

PLAYGROUP

Playgroups provide fun, hands-on activities that support learning and development in young children. Families can join in sensory play, songs and rhymes, art and crafts, and dramatic play. These experiences help children build social, emotional, and cognitive skills while parents connect and share in their child’s growth and development.

PARENT NIGHT

Evenings where families come together to learn more about our program and stay up to date. It is a chance to connect with our staff, meet other parents, and enjoy fun, family-friendly activities that support learning and growth.

Parents leave with new ideas, stronger connections, and resources to help their child thrive.

FATHERHOOD ACTIVITIES

Activities designed to help fathers connect with their children and build relationships with other dads in the community. It is a chance to spend meaningful time together, share experiences, and strengthen the important role fathers play in their child’s growth and development.

POLICY COUNCIL

A group of parents and community members who help guide and make decisions for our program. It is a chance to share ideas, help shape services, and make sure families have a strong voice in how the program runs. This is a great way to connect, build skills, and make a difference for your child.

ELIGIBILITY

Eligibility is based on income and families are chosen based on seriousness of need. Outreach is conducted throughout our service area to ensure that we reach the families who traditionally slip through the cracks.

ENROLLMENT

“The purpose of Early Head Start is to prepare our children for school and education. This program has helped me understand my babies’ development and taught me how I can better assist them in achieving their milestones.”
