Details
The Lee County Early Head Start Program is a high-quality child development program for infants, toddlers and pregnant women. The intent of the program is to enhance children’s development and health, strengthen family and community partnerships, and support the staff delivering those services. Services are provided to meet the special needs of children with disabilities.
Who is Eligible?
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
