Carey Services’ Early Head Start program is participating in National Head Start Awareness Month throughout the month of October.

The National Head Start Association organizes national activities to raise awareness for the Head Start and Early Head Start programs throughout the country and for early childhood development issues in general.

Carey Services’ Early Head Start program served 235 pre-natal mothers and children 0-3 last year in Grant and Blackford counties. It is one of 25 Early Head Start programs in the state.
