Overview

Mission

When they have challenges, we connect all children and their families to programs and resources that provide opportunities and hope.

What it reported doing in 2024

EARLY HEAD START (7002): One Place is the grantee for Early Head Start in our community. Early Head Start is a federal program regulated by the Department of Health and Human Services - Office of Head Start, and serves families with children up to the age of three, and pregnant women that meet Head Start eligibility. The home-based program provides services to 6 funded expectant women and their families, focusing on prenatal health and child development and includes a monthly 90-minute in-home visit utilizing a curriculum that increases knowledge in the areas of health, nutrition, safety, infant care, breastfeeding, and more. The Child Care Partnership program is funded to provide center-based services to 72 children from 6-weeks to 3-years-old. Children are in a classroom setting Monday through Friday and participate in planned activities to support each child's individual development using the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework. Children's growth and development are tracked through formative assessments with individualized goals for each child. While Early Head Start is focused on school readiness, children and their families are fully supported through comprehensive services that ensure children are on track developmentally or receiving intervention services to include medical, dental, and vision care, and are supported across all developmental domains.
