women, • to enhance the development of very young children,

and • to promote healthy family functioning OUR MISSION In partnership with parents and community agencies, the Lourie Center Early Head Start creates a model program dedicated to serving income-eligible families with children from birth to age three, and expectant parents. Our services are provided in homes and child care centers and family childcare settings in Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties in Maryland. We support families in building skills that are the foundation for lifelong learning and growth.

The Spirit of Giving is in the Air! The Lourie Center launched the annual Adopt a Family program in early November and the community quickly embraced the idea of helping our families. Dozens of individual families, business groups and corporations gathered toys, clothing and gift cards to ensure the 109 children in the Lourie Center’s Early Head Start Program and their families enjoyed the holidays wrapped in warmth and an outpouring of support.

Early Head Start

     

Program Has New Office For several years, the EHS program has been searching for office space that would allow all program staff members to work in a more unified workplace under one roof. In December 2010, the staff moved into their new office space located at 7833 Walker Drive suite 610, in Greenbelt, Maryland. Under the Big Top In a continuing community partnership with both Easter Seals and the National Institute of Health (NIH), EHS families were offered complimentary tickets to attend the Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus at the Verizon Center. NIH’s Recreation and Welfare Association sponsored the tickets STRATEGIC PLAN  Strategic plan 2010-2011 • Parents will be given opportunities to fully utilize the

EHS program. • Ensure that the EHS program’s monitoring system is

effective to keep the program in compliance.

• Develop effective recruitment and enrollment

strategies in the Landover, Capital Height service area.

• EHS children will demonstrate age appropriate “School Readiness” skills upon entering Head Start or pre-school.

SCHOOL READINESS 

EHS supports School Readiness for infants and toddlers by providing services that are grounded in the philosophy that the parent/child relationship is a critical foundation for early development. An everyday environment that is nurturing, explorative, safe, and rich in language will provide the experiences necessary for our children to be fully “School Ready” at 3.
