Childcare Learning Centers, Inc Early Head Start

Stamford Early Head Start is an extension of Head Start for children under 3 years old and pregnant women. Classes are extremely small and designed for children who vary in physical abilities. A home-based program is provided for children under 12 months old.

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.
