Early Head Start Prenatal
Pregnancy and Childbirth can be both exciting and overwhelming. To support expecting moms, Geminus Head Start’s Prenatal Program provides Prenatal Life Coaches – trained caregivers who empower moms throughout their pregnancy and the early postpartum time. Pregnant Teens receive priority enrollment.
Enrollment ensures priority registration into our evidence-based Home Visitor Program or one of our center-based sites when your child is born.
