Easterseals provides Head Start (HS) and Early Head Start (EHS) services to families living in these zip codes within suburban Cook County and to families living within the city of Chicago.

Easterseals connects with community-based early childhood programs to support and maintain shared goals and best practices. These collaborations give children and families the opportunity for a brighter future and a head start to success. Easterseals is funded by two separate grants for Head Start/Early Head Start Services. We are a grantee of the Office of Head Start for services provided in suburban Cook County and a delegate of the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services for services provided in Chicago.
