Early Head Start
Early Head Start serves families with children from 6 weeks to 3 years old, with a special focus on teen parents. Our center-based services run full day/full year to offer developmentally appropriate experiences to support physical, social, emotional, cognitive and language development while empowering positive parent-child relationships.
All families enrolled in Early Head Start work together with a Family Coach to develop goals that support their journey of reaching self-sufficiency.
Early Head Start is free to enroll for eligible families. For questions, please call 717-846-4600 and follow the prompts.
Early Head Start is funded in part by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
