Early Head Start - Sunrise Children’s Foundation (Clark & Nye)

Head Start and Early Head Start are federally funded programs that promote the school readiness of young children from low-income families. Early Head Start typically serves pregnant women and children from birth to age three. Head Start serves children aged three to five years old. Both programs emphasize a holistic approach, considering not only the educational needs of children but also their health, nutrition, and family support to ensure a well-rounded foundation for learning and growth. Sunrise Children’s Foundation’s Early Head Start program offers comprehensive child development and family support services to low-income and underserved populations including expecting mothers, infants, toddlers and their families. In addition to Early Head Start, Sunrise Children’s Foundation offers Nevada Ready PreK (for ages 3 to 5), a Home-Visiting Program and WIC services.

The Early Head Start learning centers for children age 0-3 focus on:

  • promoting infant and toddler health and development
  • fostering positive family relationships
  • supporting parents as the primary decision makers and nurturers of their children

NOTE: This program has limited funding and space - please reach out to the program for availability.
