Head Start in the State of Ohio is a federally funded comprehensive developmental preschool program for income eligible children (ages 3-5) and their families. Lake-Geauga United Head Start, Inc. (LGUHS, Inc.) receives grants from the Federal Department of Health and Human Services and the Ohio Department of Education, Office of Safety, Health and Nutrition for the operation of the Head Start Program. There is no fee for eligible children and their families in this program that was designed in 1965 to primarily serve children from at-risk families.

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.
