Head Start can also provide your family with valuable assistance to help you meet basic needs. We make referrals for a variety of community resources including emergency assistance and crisis intervention. We also provide regular home visits to keep you informed of your child’s progress and assist you in dealing with whatever challenges you face.

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.
