Health

The Health unit of Head Start/Early Head Start recognizes that a significant portion of preparing children for success in Kindergarten and beyond is assisting in identifying possible health issues. The Health Unit screens children in both hearing and vision and works with parents to follow up on any identified concerns. The Health unit works with community partners and parents to ensure that children remain up to date on Well Child Checks and immunizations and Dental Examinations. The Health unit supports families and children through shared educational information and information of Medical Providers. The Health unit has a Health advisory Committee for all parents and community partners and this committee meets at least twice a year.
