Program Description Head Start provides high quality, on-site early-childhood education and healthcare services to 3- to 5-year-olds and their families. Head Start activities take place at our Child Development Center in seven state-of-the-art classrooms. Pre School for All services, including social, cognitive, and early reading and math skills, enhance our child development offerings. State-certified early childhood educators provide support and activities that ensure children will be prepared for kindergarten. Home-based Head Start serves children ages 3-5 and their families by promoting healthy development, preparing them for success in school, and supporting their parents. Teachers from Gads Hill travel to participants' homes, sharing weekly lessons and activities with the entire family to give the child a sound foundation of early learning before entering school. Early Head Start Enhanced Day Care Homes provides daycare for children, from birth to age 3, in partnership with 12 home care providers, who are supervised and supported by a Gads Hill professional in their qualified and licensed day care homes. The children participate in a stimulating environment of nurturing activities that address their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical needs. Family Support Services provides comprehensive case management services to children and families. Family Support Workers connect families to resources they need to meet their educational, job-related and health-related goals, provide follow up to ensure children and families have adequate support, facilitate emergency resources to the neediest families, and provide educational parent workshops that strengthen parenting and peer support skills.
