The Children’s Community Early Head Start
Give your child the Head Start he/she deserves!
What is Early Head Start?
Early Head Start is a federally funded community-based early childhood program for income
eligible families. It is designed to promote healthy outcomes for pregnant women, to enhance
the development of very young children, and to foster healthy family functioning respectful of
the uniqueness of each family’s culture and language and the ability of each child.
At the Children’s Community Early Head Start, we believe that parents are a child’s first and
best teachers and that the home is the first and best classroom. With this in mind, our
program is designed to support parents of very young children by offering a variety of child
and family focused options including:
•Home visits by an early childhood educator during pregnancy
•A home-based and a center-based option for infants and toddlers
The Children’s Community Head Start serves low-income families residing in the following school districts:
Comsewogue, Middle Country, Miller Place, Mt. Sinai, Port Jefferson, Rocky Point, Sachem, Sayville, Shoreham-Wading River, Three Village and parts of Connetquot, Longwood and Smithtown.
Referrals are being accepted beginning January 2010. Call Liz Ciancarelli at (631) 476-9698.
