For more than 20 years, the Family Foundations Early Head Start program has been helping low-income families with children under 3 get off to a positive, healthy start. The program’s goal is to help kids enter school confidently and prepared for success. To do that, Family Foundations Early Head Start focuses on infants/toddlers’ physical, social, and emotional health, as well as thinking and movement skills.
Family Foundations Early Head Start is personalized to each family through weekly home visits that include fun activities like baby Yoga, mommy and me time, and group outings. The personalization includes valuing and honoring parents/caregivers and the choices they’ve made for themselves and their families.
Early Head start staff are kind, caring, and well-trained people who can help parents/caregivers create a reliable support system within the program as well as with other community organizations that help to strengthen parents/ caregivers social and emotional mental health.
