Children and Family Services | Head Start and Early Head Start FAQ

What are the criteria to enroll in the Head Start or Early Head Start programs?

Children being within the correct age range and families at or below the federal poverty income guidelines are program requirements.  RCOE and its delegate agencies also set additional criteria to select children for their programs to ensure that the children with the greatest needs are given priority.

Are there any charges or fees to participate in the Head Start or Early Start programs?

RCOE or its delegate agencies do not charge any fees for Head Start or Early Head Start program services.

How can I find a Head Start or Early Head Start program near where I live?

You can contact us during business hours using our toll free number (800) 600-1800. You can also contact the delegate agency or RCOE directly operated site that you think is nearest to you.  Another useful tool is the Head Start Locator site that can be found on the Head Start Early Childhood Knowledge and Learning Center Web site.
