Center Based Child Application

Head Start is a federally funded program designed to help children from low-income families develop the skills they need for success in school and life.

Children from birth to age five are eligible for Head Start and Early Head Start if their family’s income is below federal poverty guidelines. Additionally, children and families in the following categories are also eligible:
- families experiencing homelessness
- families receiving public assistance like TANF, ATAP, SNAP, or SSI
- Foster children, regardless of the foster family’s income
After submitting an application, families will need to participate in an eligibility interview with our enrollment staff to determine what documents are required to verify eligibility.
How do you think your family qualifies for Head Start services?

- Proof of current ATAP or SNAP benefits or
- Income information for all income sources for a full 12 months (W-2, 1040 tax form, child support, unemployment benefits, ATAP printout, LES, pay stubs, etc.) or
- documentation that the child is in foster care or the family is currently homeless and
- A copy of your child’s birth certificate (if available)
