Yes, the baby will automatically be enrolled in Early Head Start. It may be home base option or center based option depending on where there is an opening and what your needs are. Your needs will be discussed with you prior to the baby’s birth. To be enrolled in the center based option you must have a need for child care for at least 20 hours per week. If you do not have a need for child care and/or there is not a spot available in the center based option then your baby will be enrolled in the Home Based option.
