The Home Based Program of Early Head Start is founded on the belief that families grow stronger when parents are the primary positive influence in the lives of their children. It is a family program with parents as the main focus. Parents are the first and most important educators in the home. The home is the most comfortable, natural learning environment offered in the early years of life.

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.
