Kids On The Move Early Head Start

Early Head Start is a child development program that serves low-income families in Utah County with children ages birth to 36 months, as well as pregnant mothers and their families. We support parents as they help their young children grow and develop and provide resources and support to 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.

We will call families on the wait list when there is an opening in the program (often within a few months). What happens when you apply? We will call you shortly after receiving your application. We will set up an appointment to visit you at home to verify all information. We will tell you if you will be on the waiting list, or if there is room now.
