The Early Head Start program provides care for a combination of 60 infants and toddlers (birth – three years old) and expectant mothers. Early Head Start has three program options: center-based (32 infants and toddlers), family child care(four children), and home-based (24 children). Early Head Start offers comprehensive services—social, physical health, mental health, and nutrition—with an emphasis on the need for intervention at the earliest age.

Who is Eligible?
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.
How to Apply
Early Head Start Registration
Registration for Early Head Start is held throughout the program year. All low-income families, teen mothers/fathers, and families of infants or toddlers with special needs living in Alexandria are invited to register.
Infants and Toddlers are accepted into Early Head Start based on income eligibility and the needs of the family, and are ranked according to a point system (link to point system) to ensure that the children of families with the most need, and especially, teen mothers/fathers with infants or toddlers, are served by the program. If a family who qualifies for Early Head Start services (based on income eligibility and need) is not accepted due to limited space in the program, they will be offered a space on the waiting list (based on point ranking) for that year.
