The Children’s Aid Society Early Head Start program is an early intervention and prevention program for families with children ages 0 – 3 and pregnant mothers. Through its comprehensive and integrated services, the program aims to provide a foundation for children and families to thrive developmentally. Early Head Start seeks to empower families and building in the strengths of families.

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.

Early Head Start programs at Children's Aid operate at P.S. 5 and P.S. 8, P.S. 152 and the East Harlem Center. For more information, please call (917) 286-1527.
