Early Head Start Program Ages birth–3

Through our Early Head Start program, students ages six weeks to three years can prepare for a brighter world ahead. Small classes, coupled with a bright and comfortable environment allow children to explore and take an active role in their own social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. Our Gloucester center also includes an age-appropriate outdoor playground and indoor play space for our children to run and play. Each child is an important member of a specific and unique family. Our staff is uniquely trained to support the development of each child’s home language and culture during these critical, early years.
