Editorial Policy

Research and sourcing

Listing information is compiled from the sources described on our Data Sources page. Where a listing shows a source name, that is the origin of its current information.

Dates and updates

Where the history is known, a listing shows when it was last reviewed. A listing without a visible "last reviewed" date has not yet gone through our source-review process and should be independently confirmed before you rely on it.

Authorship and review

Directory content is maintained by our editorial team and updated based on source data refreshes and community-submitted corrections. General informational content (such as resource articles) is written or reviewed by our staff.

Corrections

Anyone can submit a correction to a listing. See our Corrections Policy for how submissions are reviewed and applied.

No legal or eligibility guarantees

Nothing on this site is legal, medical, or eligibility advice. Head Start and Early Head Start eligibility rules are set by the federal government and by individual local programs, and can change. Always confirm eligibility, required documents, and application steps directly with the local program.
