Early Head Start
The Early Head Start Program offers center-based, combination and home-based services to our families. The C-L-M Community Action Agency operates a full day/full year center in Sault Ste. Marie which offers all three options. Home based options are offered in Chippewa, Luce and Mackinac Counties. Centers in St. Ignace and Newberry provide full day/full year center based services.
Head Start
Head Start and the Great Start Readiness Programs are designed to meet the needs of the preschool child and family.
A quality early childhood program can bring about a greater degree of social competence in young children.
Various options of service are provided to children and families. The program operates from September through May. Not all options are available at all locations.
Center Base- children meet in the center four days per week, from 2 1/2-3 1/2 hours per day. Some centers offer morning and afternoon sessions.
Home Based- A trained Home Visitor meets with the parent and child in their home 1 day per week for 1 1/2 hours. Two monthly in center socialization experiences are also provided.
