Carter County Head Start is a comprehensive early childhood program for low-income children and their families. Providing children with a learning environment which will help them develop socially, intellectually, physically, and emotionally in an age appropriate manner is the primary goal of the program. Children must be 4 years old by Sept. 30, 2006, to register for Head Start. Applications will also be accepted for 3 year olds on a "space available" basis. Those registering children should bring the following information: Birth certificate, social security card, and immunizations records. Head Start also requires proof of annual income.
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.
