Head Start exists because it is founded on the principal that we have high hopes that it is possible to set children and their families on a course toward a better life. Believing that disadvantaged children suffered from a lack of money rather than a lack of intelligence, a war on poverty was launched. St. Clair County Head Start strives to provide high quality comprehensive services to the children and families served. It also works to establish a partnership between federal and local staff to continuously improve quality Head Start delivery. A comprehensive relationship is nurtured with local school systems in order to deliver high quality services.

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.
