Welcome to Lafourche Parish Head Start! Our program earned a Certificate of Excellence in March, 2007, for being in full compliance with all applicable Head Start Program Performance Standards, laws, regulations, and policy requirements.

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.

We maintain a waiting list for all sites to assure full funded enrollment and ongoing services to as many families as possible. Head Start children must be three years of age on or before September 30. Head Start also serves four year old children. Priority will be given to children who will be eligible to attend kindergarten the following year. This program will enroll 10% of children with disabilities as participants in the Head Start program.
