Preschool Details: Jackson County Head Start and Early Head Start serve pregnant mothers and income-eligible children from birth to age 4, as well as children with suspected or diagnosed disabilities. By offering early intervention in education, health, nutrition and socialization, the program aims to prepare children to succeed in life. To this end, Head Start and Early Head Start utilize a comprehensive program with the help of parents and the community in three component areas: Early Childhood Development and Health Services, Family and Community Partnership, and Program Design and Management.
Eligible Requirements: Children participating in Head Start must be 3 years old by September 1 of the current school year for acceptance. If a slot is available, children may be accepted within the school year once they become 3 years of age. Mandatory eligibility requirements are proof of age (Birth Certificate) and proof of the family income for the previous 12 months. Ten percent of the enrollment must be children with disabilities, including children with severe disabilities. Parents of children with a diagnosed disability are encouraged to apply, even with income beyond the Poverty Guidelines. Priority is given to children with diagnosed disabilities, homeless families, foster care, children from households receiving SSI, TANF (including those receiving TANF transitional services), and income-eligible families. Ten percent of the enrollment may be children from families whose income exceed the Income Poverty Guidelines
Age Requirements: 3 to 5 years old
