For Parents Overview

EAHS focuses on supporting the overall health and wellbeing of children. By working closely with early childhood and education (ECE) providers, local families, healthcare professionals, and community programs, EAHS ensures that both children and their caregivers get the help they need to give kids the best possible start in life.

Our three priority initiatives seek to strengthen children’s physical and mental health, as well as increase family engagement to reach healthy lifestyle goals.
