Early Head Start | Hocking Athens Perry Community Action

Early Head Start is a federal funded home visitation program serving income-eligible pregnant women and children from birth to age three. Through the EHS program you and your child will experience:

• Early education lessons inside your home
• Parent education and parent-child activities
• Complete health and mental health services, from pregnancy to the age of 3
• High quality child care services provided directly or working with local, community child care providers.

We are dedicated to:

• Promoting healthy pregnancies and positive outcomes for pregnant women
• Enhancing the mental and physical development of very young children
• Encouraging a happy and supportive family structure.

EHS believes the first few years are learning years for both you and your baby. We will work to guide your family in a healthy and well-informed direction. Early Head Start supports the physical, social, emotional, mental, and language development of each child. In order to do this, parenting education and the support of a positive parent-child relationship are critical goals of the EHS program.
