The Head Start program provides comprehensive preschool, childcare and home-based programs for children ages 3-5. Designed to give children a head start in life, the programs provide children with breakfast, lunch and a snack; inclusive education; assistance with obtaining health services; and social support for families.
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
