Head Start offers a variety of programs to meet the needs of communities in rural Missouri. There are nine Head Start centers, offering part-day and full-day services, one home-based and a combination program. Over 700 children annually participate in Head Start in the eight counties EMAA serves.

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.
