Head Start is a federally funded program that provides child development and comprehensive family services for children from low-income families. Head Start programs serve children from three to five years of age. Services are available for children from zero to three years of age in Early Head Start programs. Special services are available to meet the needs of children with disabilities. Community partnerships maximize resources and services.

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.
