Head Start

Families may qualify for continued services through Head Start if they meet certain income or situational eligibility criteria. Head Start is a federally funded preschool program that promotes school readiness for children ages 3 to 5 by providing early education, health screenings, nutrition support, and family resources. Services are free for eligible families and may include part-day or full-day programs, depending on the site. Eligibility is based on factors such as income level, housing status, foster care status, or receipt of public assistance (e.g., TANF or SSI).
