Trimble County Head Start serves 83 children, 49 students in center base and 34 students in home base. Head Start is a federally funded program and qualification for the program is determined by age and income eligibility. The federal government establishes the Head Start family income guidelines. Head Start may use 10% of its enrollment slots to serve over income children. Over income slots are often utilized for children who have disabilities and exceed the Head Start income guidelines.

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.
