The first Head Start Program was begun on the Flathead Reservation in 1965 as a summer program. Throughout the years the Head Start Program has expanded into five communities offering services to children in Polson, Ronan, St. Ignatius, Dixon and Arlee. Children from Elmo and Pablo communities are transported to Polson and Ronan respectively for pre-school 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.
