Head Start/Early Head Start
The GMN Head Start and Early Head Start programs serve children ages birth to five years old, and pregnant women. They promote the school readiness of infants, toddlers and preschool-aged children from families with low income. We also serve children with disabilities, children in families who are homeless and children in Foster Care.
If anyone in the household currently receives SSI or SNAP benefits, your family is automatically eligible for our services.
The programs provide free developmental and health screenings to each enrolled child. HS/EHS offers free educational, mental health, health, and family engagement services to enrolled children/families.
In Head Start we offer center-base services in Guernsey, Monroe and Noble counties. Early Head Start offers center-based and home-based services in Noble County, and home-based in Guernsey and Monroe Counties.
Children do not need to be potty trained to attend.
