EPIC Head Start

EPIC Early Head Start in Berkeley, Jefferson, and Morgan Counties provides a plethora of services to the 144 families enrolled. With a focus on parent coaching, our staff goes above and beyond to help support all families in times of need and celebration. We have been fortunate to be able to collaborate with many local resources to help families achieve very important goals that they have set for themselves and their children. Some of the partnerships include:

Mary’s Refuge- a home for unwed mothers. All 9 families living here are enrolled in our program!

Hagerstown Dental School- provides discounted preventative services to expectant mothers.

WVU Medicine- Epic Early Head Start collaborated with WVU Medicine to write our own nutrition curriculum, Healthy Habits. We use this curriculum to provide new, healthy, menu options which are cooked right at the home visit by parents and their children!

Vision/Hearing Screenings- We are fortunate to have access to evidence based screening instruments to screen for hearing/vision problems which has led to children gaining access to the appropriate accessories which make the world a much friendlier place!

Team Building! Our staff consists of many former Head Start parents! We value team building and self-care and incorporate these strategies into all trainings possible so that we are able to provide outstanding services to families in the Eastern Panhandle!
