Early Head Start and Head Start
Parents And Children Together Early Head Start and Head
Start (EHS/HS)
We BELIEVE that every child deserves bright and healthy futures. Early education plays a critical role during the important developmental period, especially among disadvantaged children. Investing in early education will have a tremendous impact on life outcomes and provide thriving futures for Hawaii’s young minds.
Federally funded initiatives provide early childhood education and related comprehensive services for low-income parents and children and children with special needs. Early Head Start provides services in centers and in homes to prenatal parents and parents with infants and toddlers. Head Start serves children ages three through five and their parents to provide a head start for school success.
Program Mission
To assist families to be the best they can be by providing a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment where both parents and children can continue to grow.

PACT Early Head Start / Head Start curriculum aligns with the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (HSELOF, 2015), which consists of five broad areas of early learning, referred to as central domains. These domains reflect research-based expectations for learning and development. The HSELOF emphasizes the key skills, behaviors, and knowledge that the program must foster in children ages birth to 5 to help them be successful in school and life.
