EOAC Head Start

EOAC Head Start is part of the EOAC Children (Head Start) program, which includes early learning, nutritious meals, health screenings, and family support. The program is connected to EOAC’s Central Office, which maintains weekday office hours and posts specific dates when children are not in attendance or have early release.

• Schedule: Central Office hours Monday–Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm; selected days with no children due to Teacher In-Service Days; some early release days at 12:00pm; and a scheduled Spring Break period.

For 60 years, EOAC has helped families across the Heart of Texas overcome barriers and find hope. At EOAC, the stated mission is to help families in the Heart of Texas stay safe, stable, and thriving, especially during difficult times. EOAC offers support through four key program areas: Children (Head Start), Education & Careers (EmpowerU), Energy Assistance, and Emergency Assistance. EOAC partners with Atmos Energy and serves the counties of McLennan, Bosque, Freestone, Limestone, Hill, Falls, Johnson, Ellis, and Navarro. EOAC is a 2025 Workforce Development Grant recipient through the Texas Mutual Foundation and received $70,000 to strengthen and expand the EmpowerU program.
