Early Head Start is a comprehensive home visitation program for low-income, pregnant women and families with children younger than three. Weekly home visits, parent-child play groups, and child care provide information and support to enhance a child's development. Families must be able to provide transportation to child care.

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.
