Head Start is a Federal program for preschool children (ages three to five) from low-income families. Head Start is available in both center-based and home-based options. The Head Start program is operated by local non-profit organizations in almost every county in the country. Children who attend Head Start participate in a variety of educational activities. They also receive access to free medical and dental care, are provided healthy meals and snacks, and enjoy playing indoors and outdoors in a safe setting.

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.
