Early Head Start at La Casa de Esperanza is more than a program—it is the foundation for lifelong learning and family success. We provide early, continuous, and comprehensive child development and family support services beginning as early as pregnancy, continuing through infancy and toddlerhood, until a child’s third birthday. Our dedicated team partners with parents—starting from the prenatal stage—to support every step of growth and development.

Early Head Start ensures that every child receives the nurturing care, stimulating learning environments, and family support they need to thrive, both in school and in life.
The Early Head Start program runs from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. We provide free childcare and education, including:
