The Home Based option provides an In Home Family Specialist who goes into the home and works directly with the parent/guardian to plan weekly activities individualized for the child. This option is available in eight counties (Adams, Billings, Bowman, Dunn, Golden Valley, Hettinger, Slope, and Stark). They engage parent’s in their child’s learning and development by providing family-friendly activities in the home to promote and strengthen parent-child interactions.
Socializations – These families meet together within their communities twice a month to provide socialization opportunities for the home base children and training opportunities for the parents/guardians.
The Early Head Start program enrolls expectant mothers and provides them with education and resources to prepare for the birth of their infant.
