About This Organization

The Early Head Start Program became a new Head Start initiative to serve pregnant women and low-income families with infants and toddlers in 1995. The program ended its demonstration effort on September 2001. Today the Early Head Start program is funded directly from the DHHS Region X Head Start Office. Services are provided through a home-base model to 75 children 0-3 years of age and pregnant women in the communities of Grandview, Mabton, Sunnyside, Granger and Toppenish. Early Head Start is a child development program consisting of comprehensive two-generation services that may begin before the child is born and focus on enhancing the child's development and supporting the family as primary educators of their children during the critical first three years of the child's life. Early Head Start has been designed to produce outcomes in the following domains:

Who is Eligible?

Head Start generally serves children ages 3 to 5 who meet local eligibility requirements. Pregnant women and children from birth to 3 years of age are eligible for Early Head Start services. Children and families who are homeless, in foster care, or receive TANF or SSI are also eligible for services. Eligibility is determined by Head Start program staff and some families may be eligible for services if they are determined to be at or below the federal poverty level. Some grantees enroll a percentage of children from families with incomes above the Poverty Guidelines as well.

Families are encouraged to apply.
