The Head Start Program is funded to provide services to a total of 20 children and their families. The program maintains 100% enrollment with a waiting list of 10 children. It is estimated that approximately 50% of eligible children living in our community are served by the Head Start Program. However, the Colorado Preschool Program also included in our Early Childhood Education Program serves some of the children who are eligible for Head Start but not served.

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.
