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
To qualify for FULL-DAY CENTER CARE, families must meet income guidelines and parents must be employed full-time, be full-time students (four academic courses) or enrolled in a full-time formal training program. To qualify for HOME-BASE (In-Home) SERVICES, families must only meet income guidelines and be available to meet weekly with a teacher. Families whose children participate in our PUBLIC SCHOOL PRE-K COLLABORATION PROGRAMS must meet income guidelines and children must be enrolled in a pre-K classroom designated each year by each participating school district.
