About This Organization

The UCHRA Van Buren County Head Start is a system of early childhood development programs serving three to five year old children from lower income families in our community. Head Start should not be confused with day care. It is so much more! Head Start is an educational and nurturing program which also addresses the emotional and physical needs of each child enrolled. Head Start recognizes that parents are the child’s first and most important teachers. Therefore, parents are important partners involved in the activities of each Head Start center, and training programs for adults are included in the services. Ten percent of Head Start’s enrollment is reserved for children with disabilities. Transportation, medical, dental, nutritional and mental health services are provided for all children.

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.
