We provide Early Head Start with both part-day (about 3.5 hours) and full-day (up to 10 hours) options, making it easier for working parents and students to find a schedule that fits.

Our services go beyond the classroom. Families at Miami View work with Family Support Specialists, Home Visitors, and Coaches who offer personalized guidance to help you build financial stability, achieve goals, and support long-term success.

Eligibility is generally based on income (100% of the Federal Poverty Level or less), though children in foster care, experiencing homelessness, or living with kinship caregivers are also eligible. Some children with disabilities may qualify as well.
