Your children qualify for Head Start, if you:
- Have children between ages three and five
- Get public assistance (TANF or SSI) OR have a qualifying income (see the table below)
For example, if your family size is three and your income is $17,600 or less per year (and you meet the guidelines above), then your child will likely qualify for Head Start.
