Early Head StartMISSION STATEMENTThe mission of Palmdale School District Early Childhood Education program is to provide a high quality, comprehensive preschool program for eligible children and families. We pledge to nurture, sustain, and educate children and families in a positive learning and social environment that supports the desired child outcomes and promotes academic success. We are committed to fostering the self-esteem of children and families so they may experience personal and social success. The program assists children and families in using all available community resources to meet their individual needs in this changing and diverse society.
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
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.
