About The Position
EWU Early Head Start Parent-Child Educators (PCEs) are early childhood home visitors who help parents prepare their child for Success in School and in life by engaging and equipping parents in their roles as primary nurturer, most influential teacher and child advocate. PCEs provide high quality Early Head Start services to children and their families in compliance with local, state and federal regulations. They accomplish this work by developing and maintaining authentic and respectful helping relationships with parents and children and by guiding individualized, home-based comprehensive child health and developmental learning experiences. Their work is guided, resourced and supported by a well-managed, community oriented, relationship-based university organization that provides effective supervision and content support in child development, infant mental health, health, nutrition, family and community services and other program operations. Ninety-minute home visits are scheduled on a weekly basis, year round. Caseloads per PCE include 10 to 12 infants, toddlers and pregnant women. In addition, each PCE organizes and facilitates a minimum of 2 socialization experiences each month. While PCEs are the primary service provider for the home-based EHS program option, they work collaboratively with parents, other EHS staff, volunteers, community partners and other providers to plan and implement the full range of EHS services.
