EARLY HEAD START

The mission of EHS is to promote healthy prenatal outcomes, enhance the development of young children, & promote healthy families.

CATG Early Head Start is a program for prenatal mothers through children age 3.  We are a home-based program in which Home Visitors in your village will help YOU to help your child with Developmental Stages, Educational and Health issues as they grow.  We are federally funded to serve those in the Yukon Flats Region.  Our program provides services to the villages of the Yukon Flats Region.  Currently we are in Arctic Village, Fort Yukon and Venetie and plan to expand to all 9 villages as we increase our staff.

One of our primary goals is to help parents be the first teachers for their children. 

What can we provide to you and your family?

• Weekly 90 minute home visits providing information on Nutrition, Education and Family Support.
• Group socializations twice a month allowing interaction with other infants and toddlers.
• Quality early education for new mothers, infants and toddlers.
• Parenting education and information
• Comprehensive health and wellness services including services to women before, during and after pregnancy.
• Provide resources to help better prepare and care for your child and family.
