Head Start Application

Head Start Application 2026-2027

Head Start programs (3-5 years of age) prepare the most vulnerable young children to succeed in school and in life beyond school. To achieve this, Head Start programs deliver services to children and families in core areas of early learning, health, and family well-being while engaging parents as partners every step of the way.

Although all children qualify for Head Start Services, priority for services is given based on the family needs. Head Start services are also available for children with disabilities. Proof of income is required to complete your application.
