Massac County Early Head Start Home-Based Services
- Through weekly home visits, children and families receive all the services of Early Head Start, but in their homes. Home-Based is offered for children 0 – 3 years of age. Each home visit is approximately 1 1/2 hours in length and includes special activities for the child and parent together. Socialization Days are held twice each month, so children also have an opportunity to play with others their age.
