The Economic Opportunity Agency helps low-income families succeed economically and socially in Northwest Arkansas. We believe that when we empower families to succeed through their own efforts, we empower all of Northwest Arkansas to succeed as a great place to work and live.

The EOA Head Start/Early Head Start philosophy is all environments are learning environments. Our trained staff gives each child the opportunity to interact and grow during their time in our care, whether it is learning in groups or independently.

A child’s health has a tremendous impact on his or her ability to learn. Healthy children are children who are ready and able to learn. EOA Head Start facilitates routine health screenings for children enrolled with the program and works with parents to educate the entire family on the importance of using appropriate healthcare.
