The Head Start program (for children ages 3-5) and Early Head Start program (for pregnant women, infants, and toddlers) are comprehensive early childhood development programs that support income-eligible families as well as strengthen children’s skills to promote success in later life. Children who attend Head Start participate in a variety of educational activities that promote early learning in the areas of science, language, literacy, math, fine and large motor skills and social-emotional development.

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.
