Beginning in infancy, DFSS provides families with the resources they need to create a strong developmental and educational foundation for young children. Through Early Head Start, Head Start and Child Care, Chicago’s youngest residents are afforded the opportunity to develop critical early literacy, school-readiness and socialization skills in a nurturing and stimulating environment that will prepare them for success in school and beyond.
