Head Starts / Early Head Start

The HHS Poverty Guidelines are used to determine income eligibility for participation in Head Start and Early Head Start programs. Children from homeless families and families receiving public assistance such as TANF or SSI are also eligible. Foster children are eligible regardless of their foster family’s income.

These programs will work collaboratively with families and the community in order to provide high-quality, developmentally appropriate, early childhood education that will meet the diverse needs of all participating children and prepare them for a positive and successful educational experience.

Families who are interested in applying for Head Start must complete the forms below and additional pre-application requirements.
