Los niños matriculados en EHS reciben una educación de calidad que favorece la preparación para la escuela y el aprendizaje permanente. El acceso al cuidado de los niños permite a las familias trabajar, asistir a la escuela o participar en la formación profesional. Mientras los niños están atendidos en el centro, las comidas, la leche maternizada, los pañales y las toallitas están incluidos sin coste alguno para las familias.
Families who enroll in the Home Base program receive services in their home. The Home Base Visitor coaches families on engaging their children 6 weeks to 5 years old in activities that set them up for school readiness and lifelong success.
