Details
Armstrong County CAA Head Start is a comprehensive preschool child development program that serves low income children ages three to five (3-5) and their families. In order to be considered for Head Start, a child must turn three (3) by August 31 and must not be of kindergarten age.
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
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.
How to Apply
Head Start services are provided to families throughout Armstrong County. Some flexibility exists in programming in that if a need is demonstrated in a particular area by a sufficient number of eligible applications, every effort is made to provide services in that area. Following recruitment of children and families in the spring, selection is made. Although selection takes place the first week in June, applications are accepted throughout the year so that the funded enrollment level can be maintained.
