Higher Horizons Day Care Center, Inc. Early Head Start

In 2009, Higher Horizons Day Care Center applied and received a grant for Early Head Start and was awarded funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Stimulus Funds). Federal funding supported the complete renovation of the former Bank of America facility at the 6201 Leesburg Pike site. The newly renovated facility includes six classrooms, food services delivery area, laundry area, outdoor play area and staff lounge. The offices for the EHS program are located in Suite #5. The newly renovated Early Head Start facility at the 7 Corners location Suite #8, opened our doors to children in January 2012. The program serves 48 infants and toddlers and their families.

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.
