Details
Head Start is a free, federally-funded comprehensive early childhood program for children, ages three to five, and their families. Head Start serves children within the context of their families and communities. Head Start provides group and individual activities for young children that will help them learn, grow and succeed. BBNA Head Start Center based programs operate four days a week, for four hours a day in the communities of Dillingham, New Stuyahok, Manokotak and Togiak.
Who is Eligible?
Children who are 3 to 5 years old are eligible for Head Start services. 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.
