The reauthorization of the Head Start Act in 1994 made it possible to establish Early Head Start (EHS) as a program to serve infants and toddlers under the age of 3 and pregnant women. Early Head Start (EHS) provides early, continuous, intensive, and comprehensive child development and family support services to low-income infants and toddlers and their families.
The Coalition has received Early Head Start (EHS) grants which allows us to serve 270 children from six weeks old to three years of age in the most needed areas of the county. Service areas include the cities of Belle Glade, Pahokee, West Palm Beach, Lake Worth, Delray Beach and Riviera Beach.

Using EHS-CCP funds, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services awards competitive grants to Early Head Start grantees that partner with local child care providers—both center-based and in-home providers—that serve children from low-income families receiving child care subsidies and agree to meet Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS). Early Head Start grantees help their child care partners to meet these standards and provide comprehensive wrap-around services, such as developmental screenings, formula and diapers, to meet children’s health, nutrition and other comprehensive development needs.
