This program requires that 51% of family income come from agriculture-related work. There are two options offered, Center Base and Family Child Care.Regional Head StartRegion IX (Traditional) Head Start is a half-day program following the normal school year for children 3-5 years of age. Head Start has recently inaugurated three classes in the Hanford area that serve working parents with all-day child care in collaboration with Child Development Services. Services are also offered to meet the needs of the children with disabilities.

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.
