The need for childcare was a central force in Ironbound Community Corporation’s creation, and providing this service is still one of our most visible priorities. It takes a village to raise a child, and our preschool, Early Head Start infant and expecting parents, after-school, and summer arts and recreation programs foster the growth of Ironbound’s children and ensure that the needs of all families are met.

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.
