HEAD START PROGRAMS

Receive high-quality early childhood education at your centers or in your home.

Telamon’s Early Childhood & Family Support program provides services to eligible families with children ages 6 weeks to 5 years in Head Start centers in Caswell, Chatham, Sampson, and Wake counties.

Head Start is a comprehensive program that offers quality early education in and out of the home, parenting education, health and social-emotional wellness services (including for women before, during, and after pregnancy), nutrition education, and family support services.

While we guide the very young as they learn and play, we also share our expertise with parents. By actively participating in their children’s early education, parents enhance their development and create strong family bonds.

In North Carolina, Telamon offers:

  • Early Head Start: Infant and toddler childcare for children up to age 3 and pregnant women
  • Early Head Start Home-Based Parenting Education: In-home education program for child and parent or pregnant women
  • Head Start: Preschool for children ages 3 to 5

Center-Based Services

Each child receives a personalized educational program at the Head Start centers based on their specific strengths and needs. Through structured learning activities, play, and group learning experiences, children enter kindergarten with learning and social skills that rival that of their classmates.

Home-Based Services include weekly 90-minute home visits and two play group activities per month for parents and their children. Our home visitors are knowledgeable and experienced professionals who can answer questions about:

  • Child development
  • Early childhood education
  • Principles of child health, safety and nutrition
  • Adult learning principles
  • Family dynamics

PARTICIPATE IN A RESPECTED HEAD START PROGRAM.

Head Start, created in 1965, is a federally funded school readiness program rooted in the idea that parents are their child’s most important teachers. All centers offer:

  • Education: Plan interactive learning experiences to help children grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Children learn and play through activities they initiate on their own.
  • Health: Provide vital services such as immunizations; dental, medical, mental health, and nutritional services; and early identification of health problems. The earlier a disability is detected, the better a child’s chances of succeeding in school and in life.
  • Parent Engagement: Encourage parents to participate in programs and workshops, serve in leadership roles, and volunteer with activities. Parents must be active partners in their child’s education.
  • Family Support: Seek to provide assistance if families have additional needs. By tackling challenges in a family’s life, we pave the way for success.

The programs are supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families.*
