Early Learning Programs
E4C’s Early Learning programs provide preventative early intervention programming. Both programs run during the school year and provide quality preschool experiences for children from low income homes.
Clareview Head Start is a pre-kindergarten program that offers a Learning Through Play curriculum for children ages 3-5. Our goal is to prepare children for a successful educational experience in partnership with their family.
Volunteers are needed in a variety of positions, including classroom assistants, kitchen support and assisting with school maintenance i.e. yard work (spring clean up), window washing etc…. Volunteer positions are available Tuesdays through Fridays from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
Early Head Start is a long term early intervention program for young children. While their parents are in group, the children participate in a quality childcare program. Our goal is to foster healthy child development and promote positive parent/child relationships during the critical first three years of the child’s life.
Volunteers play an essential role in playgroup by engaging children in play, helping to maintain a safe play environment and helping with clean-up. Groups run Mondays through Wednesdays.
