Early Head Start Program
NEICAC operates an Early Head Start program that provides home-based services to clients in Clayton and Allamakee counties. Early Head Start Home Visitors provide these services to low-income expectant mothers and families with children ages 0-3. A major objective of the program is helping these parents become their child's first teachers utilizing the "Parents As Teachers" (PAT) curriculum. NEICAC's Early Head Start Program has its base of operations in Monona. Eligible families are enrolled in this exciting home-based concept, with a ratio of 10 families per teacher/social worker. NEICAC has hopes of bringing this program to our other five counties as funding opportunities arise.
