Head Start - Serves children ages 3 to 5 who are not eligible for kindergarten.

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.

Eligibility for Head Start and Early Head Start is determined by using guidelines that are established by the federal government. There is no charge to the famillies who participate in the program. We provide service to children and families who live in Stark County. Your application along with the supporting documentation must be submitted before your child can participate in the program.
