Early Head Start and Head Start

Northwest Michigan Community Action Agency Partners with Head Start Programs

Early Head Start and Head Start promote children’s development through services that support early learning, health, safety and family well-being. We focus on the individual needs of each child. Through a blend of structured learning activities and free play, we support children in developing essential skills at their own pace, setting the foundation for future academic success. Here’s how our Child and Family Development programs helped the children in our community in 2019:

NMCAA's Child and Family Development Programs were able to make a strong difference in 2019. We were able to help 1,292 children under the age of five.

Partner Center

“I cannot adequately express how grateful we are to be partnered with you all at Early Head Start. From the supplies and financial contributions to the staff education and support, from the trainings and vision/data that elevate us from our center focus to a community of educators all inspired to make a better place for children and families, we are so thankful for everything.”

adrian Junior’s Story

Adrian Jr. started NMCAA Early Head Start on March 15, 2019. He didn’t talk or socialize well with others. I, myself, didn’t get out very much without help and never really went out in my community, other than to do normal everyday things with Adrian Jr. attached to my hip. Now, a year later, I, Crystal Gray, am a volunteer for my local 5 to 1 playgroup. Adrian Jr. is going to school and is very independent. If we would have never enrolled with Early Head Start, we wouldn’t be this far along in life. Thank you, NMCAA
