Connecting children and families with programs and resources that support healthy development, stronger families, and thriving communities.
Building Healthier, Stronger Futures
ESAAA/CAA currently operates three Head Start locations across the Eastern Shore of Virginia. One center is located in Northampton County in the Hare Valley community, and two centers are located in Accomack County, in Accomac and Hallwood. These locations allow ESAAA/CAA to provide Head Start services to children and families throughout both Accomack and Northampton Counties.
​
ESAAA/CAA provides programs and resources designed to support children and families throughout the community. Through programs such as Head Start and Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do It (MEND), families can access services that promote healthy development, learning, and well-being. Our goal is to help children and families access the resources and opportunities they need to build healthy, strong, and successful futures.
