Preschool Details: Passaic Head Start serves 255 children representing 250 families from the city of Passaic. These families are primarily working families, former TANF families or are presently receiving TANF services. They are low income families raising their children in an urban community which is densely populated and has an almost zero-rental vacancy rate. Passaic Family Head Start has been serving preschoolers aged 3 and 4 year old children since 1974. Formerly, Passaic City Head Start was under the auspices of the City of Passaic municipal government. In 2002, Passaic Family Head Start Inc. became an independent not-for-profit, 501(c)3 corporation. Passaic Head Start began its program as a response to the "War on Poverty" declared by President Johnson in the 1960's. In 1974, Passaic Head Start began serving low income families in the city of Passaic with 30 students. These 30 children represent over 5,500 children served since the inception of the program. Head Start was developed as a grass roots organization seeking to empower parents, involve the community and provide low income children an opportunity to receive a quality educational experience - thus a “Head Start” in their education and life experience.
