EARLY CHILDHOOD SERVICES

 
     

Head Start and the Early Learning Initiative (ELI) Program involve children (ages 3-5) in a wide variety of learning experiences, while giving them the opportunity to gain social skills through interactions with other children.  The play based program engages children in activities such as creative art, music and movement, dramatic play, and language and literacy.  Early Head Start and Help Me Grow (HMG) are home-based programs designed for pregnant women and children (birth to three). Weekly visits are conducted within the home to promote the child’s development and provide skills to parents.

Health Services, parent involvement, and a myriad of support services are also an integral part of the Head Start and Early Head Start programs. 

 

From immunizations and needed dental care, to speech and hearing diagnostics, this program addresses the comprehensive needs of young children.  

In Fairfield County, early childhood services are provided in Baltimore, Sugar Grove, and at two neighborhood locations in Lancaster.  Families wanting to enroll must complete an application with proof of family income attached. 

Applications are available at the Main Street Center, located at 1743 East Main Street in Lancaster, or by calling 740.653.1305.
