Union Baptist Harvey Johnson Head Start, Baltimore

UBHJHS serves its funded enrollment of 214 children while meeting the needs of additional children of low-income families. Children are taught skills in social/emotional, intellectual, physical and cognitive development. Ten percent of the children we serve have disabilities and are seen by a specialist in the field of the child’s disability. A Mental Heath Consultant works with individual children as well as with parents, providing parenting classes and individual parenting services. Family Service Coordinators (FSCs) provide special services to individual parents and families as needed. Health and nutrition are very important systems that are taught and will serve families well for a lifetime with 3/4 of the children’s meals served in the center. The program offers three options: Full Day classes, 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM; Part Day AM classes, 8:00 AM -11:30 AM; and Part Day PM classes 12:30 PM - 4:00 PM. Parents choose the option according to their need.
