The Abyssinian Head Start Program embraces the mission to enhance educational and developmental opportunities for children and to enhance the delivery of social services to families. Based on our track record and success with ADC’s first and second Head Start sites, ADC was awarded and opened a third Head Start site, which became fully operational in October 2008.

Children who are 3 to 5 years old are eligible for Head Start services. Pregnant women and children from birth to 3 years of age are eligible for Early Head Start services. Children and families who are homeless, in foster care, or receive TANF or SSI are also eligible for services. Eligibility is determined by Head Start program staff and some families may be eligible for services if they are determined to be at or below the federal poverty level. Some grantees enroll a percentage of children from families with incomes above the Poverty Guidelines as well.

Families are encouraged to apply.
