Early Head Start Program

  • Providence Connections (PC) is pleased to partner with Pittsburgh Public Schools (PPS) to offer toddler slots in the District’s Early Head Start Program.
  • Welcome to the Early Head Start Program at Providence Connections, offered in proud partnership with Pittsburgh PPS. We provide a vibrant, nurturing early learning environment specifically designed to help toddlers (ages 18 months to 3 years) grow, explore, and reach their full potential.
    If you are an income-eligible family looking for a comprehensive, supportive, and cost-free child development program where your little one can truly thrive, you have found the perfect place. Come join our Providence Connections family!
    Early Head Start Programs:

    • Provide comprehensive child development and family support services to families with children up to age three.
    • Strive to be an advocate for children and families to ensure that their children reach their full potential.
    • Work to support the development of young toddlers and promote healthy family dynamics.
    • Work collaboratively with parents/guardians to connect them with community resources for family well-being, social service agencies and organizations for crisis prevention and emergency assistance. Parent engagement is encouraged, with many opportunities available for family participation.

    Translation services are available for ESL families for initial applications and weekly visits.

    Eligible toddlers receive free diapers and wipes during school time
