Early Head Start and Head Start Programs are currently offered to pregnant women and children from 0 to 5 years old, as well as their families. The eligibility requirements vary from one local program to the next. Your family may qualify for Early Head Start and Head Start Services if your family income is currently at or below the federal poverty level.

In certain cases, children that come from families whose income exceed the federal poverty level may qualify, as long as some other requirements are met. Those who have children in foster care, families who receive SSI or TANF benefits, as well as homeless families may qualify for a Head Start Program.

There are numerous head start centers located in Bakersfield. As the centers offer their services to families that could be eligible under specific local criteria, you should get in touch with your local center for additional details.
