Welcome to East Side House Settlement, Head Start & Early Head Start Programs. East Side House’s Early Childhood programs provide a safe, supportive, vibrant educational environment for children 2–5 years of age and their parents. The comprehensive program addresses all areas of a child’s development: physical, mental, social, and emotional. Children and families receive a broad range of educational, nutritional, preventive health, and social services. Essential to East Side House’s model is our unique inter-generational approach to learning. We engage caregivers and children to address educational needs in a way that promotes long-term family sustainability. Our goal is to foster a lifelong love for learning for each of the children we serve.

Please answer questions about education, employment and income based on the date of the application. For teen parents, only enter "Yes" if 19 years or younger on the date of application.
