Head Start was implemented during the summer of 1965, and approximately 550,000 children in 2,500 child development centers were enrolled in the program. The purpose of Head Start was literally to give children a head start in their educational experience and, it was hoped, this good start would be transferred onto future life experiences. Today, the National Head Start program serves approximately 752,000 children and families and is based on the premise that all children share certain needs and that children with disabilities, in particular, can benefit from a comprehensive developmental program to meet those needs.

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.
