Northside’s Susan Patricof Head Start/Early Head Start Center provides early childhood education services to over 200 children and their families in the East and Central Harlem Community. The Head Start Center is a comprehensive early childhood development program for pregnant families and children (ages 0 to 5) who are living in low-income households. Head Start services are responsive to each child’s and family’s developmental strengths and challenges and reflect the rich ethnic cultural, and linguistic heritages present in the diverse neighborhoods we serve

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.
