Lake Orion Early Head Start Early Head Start

Early Head Start (EHS) is a federally funded community-based program for low-income families with infants, toddlers and pregnant women. EHS evolved out of Head Start's long history of providing services to infants and toddlers and recent advances in the field of infant development.

Head Start generally serves children ages 3 to 5 who meet local eligibility requirements. 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.
