SUBMITTED

Do you have a child that is under the age of 5? If you do, then you might qualify for Early Childhood Connections. This program serves pregnant mothers, children birth to five and their families, regardless of race, creed or color, including those with special needs.

Connections program staff offers support to families as they identify and meet personal goals, nurture the development of their children in the context of their family and culture, and advocate for communities that are supportive of children and families of all cultures. There is no cost to families who qualify for Connections services (Head Start) because this is a federal program that you must qualify for.

Services to families include: assist families to maximize children’s development, health and dental services, family engagement opportunities and access to nutritious meals and snacks and services in the center or home.

We are currently enrolling children for both our Early Head Start (pregnant mothers, children birth to three and their families) and Head Start programs (children three to five and their families).
