Early Head Start

Early Head Start in Carthage, MO is dedicated to nurturing the growth and development of low-income infants, toddlers, and their families, including expectant mothers. We offer a variety of enriching programs tailored to meet the diverse needs of our community, such as Center-Based services, where children receive early education and care in a supportive environment, and Home-Based services that feature weekly visits focused on empowering parents in their child’s development. Our Family Child Care option provides a warm, family-like setting for care and education, while Combination services blend the benefits of both home and center-based experiences. We believe in fostering strong family connections and enhancing childhood development through nutrition, health and safety, mental health resources, and engaging group activities. We invite families in Carthage to reach out and enroll in our transformative programs.
