We provide home visits for pregnant mothers and children between the ages of 0-3 years. An early childhood instructor conducts a home visit for 90-minutes once a week. This program also provides playgroups that meet twice monthly. The playgroups support children's cognitive, social, emotional and physical growth, as well as the parent's role as their child's first teacher. They help prepare children for center-based care in the Head Start pre-school transition. Please call (510) 238-7479 for more information.

Some benefits include: ❖ Extended hours & year-round services ❖ Small group setting (teacher to student ratio) ❖ Many locations throughout Oakland ❖ Most Family Child Care providers offer services to 0 to 5 years
