EOAC: Moving Families Forward

EOAC: Moving Families Forward EOAC moves families forward by connecting them to opportunities that build lasting stability. Every family thriving.

Serving children, families, and community members across the Heart of Texas since 1966. The Economic Opportunities Advancement Corporation is a private non-profit organization, chartered by the State of Texas on April 25, 1966. The purpose for which the agency was created is to implement and carry out the provisions of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. This act recognizes that the United State

s can achieve its economic and social potential as a nation only if every individual has the opportunity to contribute to the full elimination of poverty in McLennan, Bosque, Freestone, Limestone, Hill, Falls, Johnson, Ellis, and Navarro Counties. This is done by opening to everyone the opportunity to work, live in decency and dignity; and to strengthen, supplement and coordinate other efforts in the 9 counties.

Keeping doors open between rooms can help air circulate more evenly throughout your home.

Better airflow means your system doesn’t have to work as hard.

👉 Do you keep doors open or closed during the day?

Words help children make sense of the world around them. Describing what your child is doing during play builds vocabulary and helps them connect actions with language in a natural way.

At Head Start, we know that simple conversations like “You’re building a tall tower” or “You’re stacking the blocks” support early language development and confidence. These small moments of narration turn everyday play into meaningful learning experiences.

💬 What new word has your child learned recently? We’d love to hear the words they’re starting to use!

For 60 years, EOAC has walked alongside families. 💙

As we begin a new month, we are also stepping into an important new chapter with a renewed mission, vision, and focus for the future.

Our mission is simple: EOAC moves families forward by connecting them to opportunities that build lasting stability.

Our vision is clear: Every family thriving.

Whether through early learning, family support, energy assistance, weatherization, workforce development, or emergency assistance, our work is connected by one shared purpose: helping families take the next step forward.

This September, we look forward to sharing more about where EOAC is going, what Moving Families Forward means, and how we will continue serving children, families, and community members across the Heart of Texas.

Moving Families Forward. Every Family Thriving.

When it’s time to replace appliances, ENERGY STAR models use less energy and save money over time. Most models are already ENERGY STAR rated if they are new, but if you are buying a used appliance, be sure it has the ENERGY STAR rating.

They’re designed to be efficient without sacrificing performance.

Laughter is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to connect with your child. Sharing smiles, silly moments, and giggles helps create joy and builds a strong, positive bond that children carry with them.

At Head Start, we know that laughter supports emotional well-being, reduces stress, and helps children feel safe and connected. Those lighthearted moments are not just fun, they’re an important part of growing and learning together.

💬 What makes your child laugh the most? We’d love to hear the moments that bring joy to your home!
