Head Start/Early Start Services

Head Start and Early Head Start are comprehensive child development programs which serve children from birth to age five, pregnant women and their families. The programs are child-focused and have the overall goal of increasing the school readiness of young children in low-income families.

Outreach Services

New Opportunities Outreach has an office located in each of the counties we serve: Audubon, Calhoun, Carroll, Dallas, Greene, Guthrie and Sac known as the Family Development Centers. Each Family Development Center has staff that works with low income families on a daily basis to meet basic needs and development.

Prevention Services

Primary prevention protects the individual from ever experiencing problems with alcohol, tobacco and other drugs and delays the onset by providing broad based community programs. These programs focus on education and are often paralleled in the schools and workplace. The goal is to prevent future problems and provide prevention strategies that last a lifetime.
