Head Start at Pearson

The overall objective of the Early Childhood Development and Health Services (EC&HS) area is to provide all children with a safe nurturing engaging enjoyable and secure learning environment. The end results are the development of skills and increased confidence deemed necessary to succeed in their present surroundings. It also assists in coping with responsibilities that may arise later in school and in life. The Head Start Program places great emphasis on developing school readiness skills in our young children.

The Early Head Start program provides three service options for families who qualify. The first option is a home-based parenting and activities program for children ages birth to twelve months. The second option is a center-based program for children between the ages of twelve months to three years old. And the third option is a home-based support services program for pregnant women. Center-based services are provided within our two Early Head Start locations: Edward Waters College campus – 1626 Grunthal Street and our Pearson Head Start/Early Head Start Center – 1314 Union Street.
