Since 1965, Head Start has provided low-income children and families across the United States with a comprehensive program to meet their emotional, social, health, nutritional and psychological needs. This highly successful program works to break the cycle of poverty for families and improve preschool children's opportunities for academic achievement.

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.
