Early Head Start (EHS) is a program for families on a limited income with children from birth to three years old and pregnant women. Early Head Start partners with families to promote the growth and development of infants and toddlers, resulting in school readiness prior to entry into kindergarten.
The types of services offered at Early Head Start are:
Early Head Start provides services in the school districts and surrounding communities of Arlington, Granite Falls, Marysville, and Sultan.
Year-round services are provided through weekly home visits and socialization groups twice per month. In Marysville, classroom experiences are available for toddlers.
Early Head Start enrolls pregnant women and families with children up to 30 months of age. Families are income-eligible if their total income is less than 100% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (PDF). Families with infants and toddlers with a diagnosed disability or other special need may still be eligible even if they are over income limits. Families who are homeless according to the McKinney-Vento Act, receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or have a foster child, are categorically eligible.
