It is a program that came out of the Head Start Program. In addition to providing or linking families with needed services\u2014medical, mental health, nutrition, and education\u2014Early Head Start can provide a place for children to experience consistent, nurturing relationships and stable, ongoing routines.<\/p>\n<p>Early Head Start Programs offer three different options and programs may offer one or more to families. The three options are: a home-based option, a center-based option, or a combination option in which families get a set number of home visits and a set number of center-based experiences, There are also locally designed options, which in some communities include family child care.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"x-div e79-e58 m27-8 m27-a\"><a class=\"x-anchor x-anchor-button e79-e59 m27-m\" tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alamedafs.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><div class=\"x-anchor-content\"><div class=\"x-anchor-text\"><span class=\"x-anchor-text-primary\">Alameda Family Services<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><div class=\"x-text x-content e79-e61 m27-g m27-i m27-j\"><p>2325 Clement Avenue, Suite A<br \/>\nAlameda, CA 94501<br \/>\n510-629-6356<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-div e79-e58 m27-8 m27-a\"><a class=\"x-anchor x-anchor-button e79-e59 m27-m\" tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/headstartprograms.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><div class=\"x-anchor-content\"><div class=\"x-anchor-text\"><span class=\"x-anchor-text-primary\">Child, Family and Community Services<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><div class=\"x-text x-content e79-e61 m27-g m27-i m27-j\"><p>32980 Alvarado-Niles Road, Suite 846<br \/>\nUnion City, CA 94587<br \/>\n510-796-9512<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-div e79-e58 m27-8 m27-a\"><a class=\"x-anchor x-anchor-button e79-e59 m27-m\" tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oaklandca.gov\/topics\/head-start\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><div class=\"x-anchor-content\"><div class=\"x-anchor-text\"><span class=\"x-anchor-text-primary\">City of Oakland Head Start<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><div class=\"x-text x-content e79-e61 m27-g m27-i m27-j\"><p>150 Frank H.
