We’re proud to announce a new partnership between Child Inc Head Start and Jeremiah Program Austin, bringing two new Early Head Start classrooms to the Jeremiah Program community.
This partnership embraces a two-generation approach, supporting children and parents together. While young children receive quality early childhood education and comprehensive support through Early Head Start, their parents have access to the resources, education, and support they need to pursue their own goals and build a stronger future for their families.
Together, we’re creating a place where families can learn, grow, and thrive—because when parents and children have the opportunity to succeed together, the whole family benefits.
We’re excited for what this partnership means for Austin families and for the possibilities ahead. 🌱
