If you are enrolled in an Early Head Start/Head Start program, the teacher and possibly the teacher aide will schedule a visit with you in your home. This visit will help your child see the connection between home and school. Home visits are scheduled twice a year for children in the center-based program and once a week for children enrolled in the home-based program.
