Head Start is a federally funded program, locally designed and implemented, providing quality early childhood education to children and their families. The program is comprehensive and involves the family in the total development of the child. Families with children age 3 to 5 are encouraged to apply at anytime throughout the year. Families whose children have documented disabilities are also encouraged to apply. Please call: (906) 779-2695 or visit: www.diisd.org

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.
