Educare DC, a Head Start Program of Washington, DC

640 Anacostia Avenue, NE
Washington DC DC

The school, funded by a unique consortium of private and public partners, will provide direct services to 157 infants, toddlers, preschoolers and their families in the Parkside Community. It will also serve to spark improvements in early childhood programs throughout the District by spreading evidence-based practices and creating new champions for early learning.

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.
