Early Head Start
Early Head Start is a federally funded program that works with low-income infants, toddlers, pregnant women, and their families. Services in Brown County are managed by Family Services of Northeast Wisconsin in collaboration with CESA 7, and focus on:
Enhancing children’s physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development
Assisting pregnant women with accessing comprehensive prenatal care
Supporting parents’ efforts to meet the challenges of parenting and fulfill their parental roles
Helping parents move towards self-sufficiency

Providing parents with opportunities to obtain feedback about their child’s interests, strengths, needs and resources
Allowing parents to observe their children interacting and responding to other children and adults
-
Sharing and learning from others about the challenges and joys of parenting
