Head Start Enrolling Throughout the East Bay

EBCAP Head Start is now enrolling income eligible children from birth to five throughout the East Bay area of Rhode Island.  Program offerings include: free half day classroom services for preschoolers; free home based services for pregnant women and families with infants/toddlers; and child care for infants, toddlers and preschoolers.  We offer assistance to families applying for the RI DHS Child Care Certificate. 

All programs include the following services: learning activities for young children, parent groups, family fun activities, parenting courses, healthy meals and snacks, family goal setting supported by Head Start staff, health and dental screening, dental services and more.  All services are provided to support low-income, at-risk families to support their children so they are ready to learn and succeed in kindergarten and beyond.

EBCAP Head Start is operated as part of East Bay Community Action Program, a private, nonprofit organization providing health and human services in the East Bay area for the past 40 years.  Head Start sites are located in East Providence, Warren, Newport, Middletown, and Tiverton.

EBCAP Head Start does not provide transportation, however, staff will assist families to understand and access transportation options through the following services:

• Provision of information about RIPTA bus passes, routes and other services.
• Individual assistance with transportation issues such as flexible scheduling and alternative site placements.
