Head Start & Early Head Start

 

Early Head Start (EHS) serves expectant mothers through three year olds in Franklin County.  Currently EHS offers 20 enrollment slots in a variety of program options.  The Home Based option is available for families who are not in need of child care and consists of a 90 minute, weekly home visit as well as comprehensive health, nutrition, education and social services.  The Center Based option provides child care in both center and family child care options, and is designed for families who are working or in school.  Families in the Center Based option receive a monthly home visit, for approximately one hour, to support social service, health, dental and nutritional needs of the child and family.

 

The Franklin County Home Based program serves 10 children ages 3-5 and their families in a Home Based setting.  Enrolled children and their parent/guardian will meet weekly for 90 minutes in the home.  The home visitor will provide educational activities and services to share with the parent/guardian while modeling and interacting with the child.  .Visits include a focus on education, health, nutrition, dental, and social services.  Socializations occur two times per month, which include a group activity for all home based children and families to meet in a larger group setting.

 

ECKAN Head Start promotes health development for all children.  In order for the program and the child’s family to be certain a child is healthy, a variety of screenings must be completed.  All children in the Head Start program should receive the screenings and exams on the application checklist.  Parents should review the checklist, before attending doctor’s appointments, to ensure they can advocate for their child, and ensure the appropriate screenings are completed.  Please click here for the application checklist for a list of the necessary screenings and exams.  If you have any questions, contact the Family Service worker at your local Head Start center, or contact the Health Coordinator at (785) 242-5481 ext. 305.

 

Please contact the Home Visitor for more information.
