HEAD STARTHead Start began in 1965 as part of President Lyndon Johnson's "War on Poverty". Federally funded by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, this early childhood program for income eligible and special needs pre-school children and their families provides comprehensive services in the areas of early childhood education, health, and family and community partnerships. Both center-based and home-based options are available.
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
Early childhood years are very important for children and their families. When children experience success in responsive, nurturing programs, they gain essential skills and knowledge for life long learning. When parents experience success, they learn to be confident partners with teachers and strong advocates for their families.For additional information contact:715-343-7539 For information on enrollment, contact:Karen ZdroikEligibilty Recruitment Selection Enrollment Attendance & Health Manager715-343-7536kzdroik@capmail.org
