East Bay Community Action Program's Head Start, Early Head Start and Child Care programs provide comprehensive child development services to children ages birth to five and their families annually. The goal of the program is to enhance the cognitive, social, emotional and physical development of low-income, at-risk children, in an effort to prepare them for kindergarten, ready to learn and succeed.
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.
