Keeping our Children Safe and Healthy

Child Feeding Practices

Learn how positive eating environments, responsive feeding, and family style dining help form good habits that last.

Required Physical Exams

Head Start and Early Head Start Programs require physical exams for all children to ensure the health and well-being of children and staff.  These exams are part of the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) service, which is Medicaid's comprehensive and preventive child health program.

We have had several confirmed COVID-19 cases in our Program.  We encourage all families to take extra precautions to help keep our children, staff, and community safe.   Please continue to monitor your child for symptoms daily and practice good hygiene, including frequent handwashing.  We ask that you keep children home if they are not feeling well.  If your child tests positive, please notify your Center Coordinator immediately.  Thank you for your help in maintaining a healthy learning environment.

Healthy Habits Start Early

Good activity habits begin early in your child’s life.  As early as infancy, you can help your child grow lifelong healthy play habits. Your child learns from you,  so while you help him be active, try to do the same activities!
