Programs & Services
Home Based Program (In-Home Services)
Our in-home services are designed to serve stay-at-home mothers or mothers-to-be. The goal is to support mothers to become their child's first teacher. Services are provided by trained visiting teachers who conduct hour-and-a-half weekly visits that include instructional and parenting education to mothers, and modeling techniques with the child while the mother observes.
The program utilizes the "Parents as Teachers" curriculum which is nationally recognized. Parents are offered the opportunity to attend two group socializations each month to observe their children interacting with other children, socialize with other mothers and participate in a parent education presentation. In addition, to ensure that home-based children receive the full range of Head Start services, the visiting teacher serves as a case manager for health, dental, nutrition, mental health and special needs services. In addition, the visiting teacher assists the mother with any family social services needs.
Services are available to eligible families with children ages 0 - 3 (Early Head Start) and 3 - 5 (Head Start).
