Allegheny Intermediate Unit (AIU) has begun to enroll young children and pregnant mothers in its new Early Head Start program for low-income families.

Early Head Start is a free childhood development program for infants, toddlers, pregnant women and their families. Staff work with families to promote a child's health/development and assist pregnant women in accessing prenatal and postpartum care.

Families from Bellevue, Avalon, West View and Ross Township can participate.
