The Early Head Start (EHS) program is
for low-income infants, toddlers, pregnant women and their families.
EHS programs enhance children's physical, social, emotional, and
intellectual development; assist pregnant women to access
comprehensive prenatal and postpartum care; support parents' efforts
to fulfill their parental roles; and help parents move toward
self-sufficiency.
