The Ebeye Head Start Program is a federally-funded early childhood education center serving the Ebeye community with comprehensive developmental services for children from low-income families. The program focuses on school readiness through structured educational activities, health screenings, nutrition services, and family engagement. Teachers are trained in early childhood development and use culturally responsive curriculum that incorporates Marshallese language and traditions. The facility maintains small class sizes with low student-teacher ratios and emphasizes social-emotional development alongside academic preparation.

Operating within the Ebeye Elementary School campus, this public pre-kindergarten program provides structured early childhood education for children ages 3-5. The program follows the Marshall Islands national early learning standards and focuses on developing foundational literacy, numeracy, and social skills. Certified early childhood educators implement play-based learning approaches while incorporating Marshallese cultural elements. The program benefits from shared school facilities including safe playgrounds, library resources, and nutritional meal services. Parent involvement is encouraged through regular communication and classroom participation opportunities.

This community-operated childcare center serves as a vital resource for Ebeye families, offering flexible care options including full-day programs for working parents. The center provides age-appropriate developmental activities in a safe, nurturing environment with trained caregivers who understand local cultural needs. Programming includes early literacy activities, creative arts, motor skill development, and basic Marshallese and English language exposure. The center maintains strict safety protocols and health standards while offering affordable care options for the island community. Due to limited online presence, verification and enrollment are typically handled through in-person visits and community referrals.
