100% of teachers in our program have earned a minimum of a Child Development Associate credential.

64% of Head Start teachers have a bachelor’s degree.

73% of teachers at Early Head Start Child Care Partnerships have earned a Child Development Associate credential or are in the process of doing so.

Once a family qualifies for Early Head Start, their child can remain in the program even if the family’s income exceeds the allowable threshold, as long as the child is under the age of 3.

If a family enrolls in Head Start (this program is for children between the ages of 3-5), the same is true. The family is still eligible to continue until their child is 5.
