Head Start and Early Head Start is about the whole family not just the child.
We partner with parents, encourage caregivers, connect families with resources, and celebrate every milestone, big or small.

Because when families are supported, children have even more opportunities to thrive.

At Corning Head Start and Early Head Start we know that children learn best when they can MOVE, EXPLORE, and PLAY!

From running and jumping to climbing, dancing, kicking balls, and practicing their balance, our little learners are building important gross motor skills every single day!

Big things happen with the little things we already have at home!

At Corning Head Start and Early Head Start, we believe that some of the best teaching tools aren't found in a store or hidden in an expensive toy, they're already sitting right in your home.
One of the wonderful things we share with our families is how to turn everyday household items into meaningful learning experiences for their little ones.

From plastic cups, cardboard boxes, spoons and containers to laundry baskets, measuring cups, and even a simple pile of socks, ordinary objects can create EXTRAORDINARY learning opportunities!

* a simple cup can teach counting, stacking and problem-solving
* a cardboard box can inspire imagination, creativity and pretend play.
* sorting socks can build early math and matching skills.
* measuring cups and kitchen utensils can introduce early math, language and exploration.
* everyday conversations, reading, singing, and playing together build language, connection and social-emotional skills.

The best part? You don't need fancy toys or expensive materials to help your child learn and grow.
You just need a little creativity, time together and the understanding that your child's first and most important classroom is home-and you are your child's most important teacher! ❤️

At Early Head Start, we partner with parents to build confidence, share ideas and show how learning can happen naturally throughout everyday routines.
Because learning doesn't have to be complicated to be meaningful!
