Early Head Start is a free, federally funded program, serving low income pregnant women and their families and children birth to 3 years of age. Our program is designed to encompass the entire family in fetus, infant and toddler outcomes up to the age of three at which time transition will occur. El Grito holds 24 slots and employs two Home Visitors.
The purpose of El Grito is to provide a high quality, developmentally appropriate, and comprehensive program that assists the child in all developmental areas that include cognitive, language, literacy, math, science, social/emotional, and physical.
In keeping with the program’s purpose, it is El Grito’s philosophy that early childhood should be a time filled with fun, warmth, security, interest, and enthusiasm. The best way to teach children is to build on play and natural learning styles.
