Home-Based Program Option

Many families receive Early Head Start services right in their own home! Home visitors come once a week and work with families and their children. Together, they watch and think about the child. They help the child learn using the families' interactions, daily routines, and household materials. Twice a month a small group of children, families, and their home visitors get together in groups for socializations.
