Community Action Agency Opens Early Head Start Enrollment to Annapolis and South County Families

The Community Action Agency’s Early Head Start program is currently accepting applications for families with infants and toddlers, ages 6 weeks through 3 years, for families residing in Annapolis and Southern Anne Arundel County. Community Action opened a new, state-of-the-art Early Head Start Center, which is located at 135 Stepneys Lane in Edgewater, in June 2022.

“The Community Action Agency is pleased to announce we are now offering our in-person Early Head Start program for infants and toddlers living in Annapolis,” said Dr. Charlestine R. Fairley, Chief Executive Officer of Community Action. “We have served South County families for decades, but with the opening of the new center last summer we were able to add classrooms and expand the program to a 5 day-a-week, full-time program to better serve local families.”

Early Head Start offers a no-cost developmentally appropriate program and high-quality childcare for qualifying families. The Center offers up to ten hours of education and care daily, with all meals included. The Agency has a staff of passionate and dedicated teachers to serve infants and toddlers, with a ratio of 3:1 for infants and 4:1 for toddlers. Early Head Start families have the opportunity to receive additional services through Community Action’s 2-Generation Whole Family approach.
