Early Head Start

Wild Plum Center provides Early Head Start early developmental services to low-income 0- to 3- year-olds, including prenatal and post-partum support for pregnant women. Parents may select from either a home-based or center-based service model. Home-based services involve family educators working with parents one-on-one in the home setting for one hour each week. Center-based services provide an enriched daycare setting for children while parents pursue employment or educational activities. This program option is supplemented by group-delivered parent education and parent/child socialization activities with family educators. 

Service elements are intended to address any and all aspects of need within a child's life, allowing for more fruitful developmental experiences.
