Who's eligible
Income Based Verify With Program
Head Start promotes school readiness of young children from low-income families. Enrollment requirements listed by the program: CDIB "if applicable," birth certificate, proof of income, up-to-date immunizations, and an insurance card. Because the CDIB is qualified as "if applicable," the program does not state that tribal enrollment is required — confirm with the center. After the application is processed for completeness, a few in-house forms are signed during an in-person interview before school starts.
