Head Start is a federally funded program. Children from families whose income fall within the Department of Health and Human Services poverty guidelines are given first priority for enrollment. Head Start may also serve up to 35% of enrollment children whose family’s incomes are between 100-130% of poverty. In addition up to 10% of the children enrolled may be from families whose income exceeds the income guidelines. 10% of the actual enrollment must be offered to children with disabilities. There is no charge for families who are accepted into the program.

The Columbia Child Development’s Head Start Program strives to provide a nurturing atmosphere which gives respect and support yet empowers children parents and staff to reach for and obtain success that benefits themselves and their community.
The Head Start program is built on the premise that all children share certain needs and that children of low income families in particular can benefit from a comprehensive developmental program. By providing a wide range of medical dental nutritional educational and social service assistance many basic needs can be met. Intervention services if needed can begin earlier to help children become more successful.
