The grant will provide HS/EHS services encompassing early learning  and development, health, and family well-being to hundreds of pre-school children, infants and toddlers. 
“Our amazing staff has worked so hard to secure this funding so that we can continue and expand our early  education programs,” said API CEO Lonnie Ballard Jr. “It’s been well proven that when a child’s education begins in their early years, the positive effects on their well-being and social-emotional health will be  immeasurable. We look forward to continuing Action Pathways’ goal of serving the most vulnerable members  of our community, starting, most importantly, with our children.”  
Applications to apply for available slots into the HS/EHS program are available online at  https://actionpathways.ngo/our-programs/head-start/how-to-apply/. For additional information regarding  enrollment, please call 910-485-9800.
