Early Head Start is a federally funded community-based program for low-income families with infants and toddlers and pregnant women. The goal is to promote healthy prenatal outcomes for pregnant women, enhance the development of very young children, and promote healthy families. Services include comprehensive case management and follow-up, developmentally appropriate early childhood education for infants and toddlers, parent education, parent/child activities, health and dental care, nutrition, mental health, parent involvement and transitions. The Family Partnership Agreement determines the services each child and family receives.

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.
