Early Head Start

Early Head Start is available Monday through Friday, full-day, year-round.

Early Head Start is designed for children 3 months to 3 years of age. We also provide pre-natal support for pregnant women who can enroll their child when they become age-eligible at 3 months old.

Our Early Head Start program is available for income-eligible families at our Plymouth, Marshfield, and Wareham centers. We also offer home-based Early Head Start for families in Plymouth, Marshfield and Wareham.

Early Head Start
Home-Based Program

For Pregnant Moms and Families With Children from Birth to 3 Years. Helping You Help Your Child in the Early Stages of Development.

Once a week, a home visitor will come to your home. Your home visit will last 90 minutes. You, your spouse or partner, your child’s brothers, sisters, and any other household member can all take part.

(For residents of Plymouth, Marshfield and Wareham.)

Together, we will plan activities for you to do with your child during home visits and during the week between visits. Over time you will get to know one another, and will become partners in helping your child grow and learn.
