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.

| Comment: | I’m giving Booker T. headstart a 2 and the 2 is because the teacher and para are amazing. These policies however, are extremely ridiculous. Today I was told that my son cannot attend school the following day because this is his 4th tardy this month. I brought my son to school 9 minutes late. (Not an hour. It’s never been more than a few minutes) We are low income parents working multiple jobs and going to school in hopes to get out of this situation. I’m sorry that I am a single mother, chauffeur, student, full time employee, and I slept in an extra 5 minutes which resulted in MY SON suffering. These policies are ridiculous and they need to be overruled. Whomever is coming up with these dense policies, clearly have never been a single parent, employee of multiple jobs, a student , who occasionally gets drained and moves a little slower when they’re worn out. Now I have to explain to a four year old that his tired mother waking up a few minutes late, resulted in him being banned from school the next day. This program is extremely frustrating. I thought we wanted our kids in school? Why are we punishing CHILDREN? I called to speak with someone and no one ever answered the phone. I tried to leave a message and boom, no surprise, the phone hangs up. |
