How Is Eligibility Determined?​

​

Early Head Start, Head Start, and Pre-Kindergarten are provided at

no-cost to eligible families. Eligibility is determined by a number of factors, including family size and income, in addition to other qualifying indicators. Families receiving assistance and those experiencing homelessness are categorically eligible.

​

The first step in applying to our Early Head Start and Head Start programs is to submit a pre-application. Once submitted, an Intake Specialist will contact you to begin the process of determining eligibility.
