MARICOPA COUNTY HEAD START PROGRAM

October 2022 Report to Board of Supervisors
Enrollment
Head Start programs promote the school
readiness of infants, toddlers, and
preschool-aged children from low-income
families. In order to reach those most in
need of services, a program must develop
and implement a recruitment process
designed to actively inform all families with
eligible children.
Inclusion
Office of Head Start (OHS) has been a
leader in the movement to support the
Inclusion of children with disabilities in
early childhood settings. OHS mandates
our program to serve at least 10% of
children with identified disabilities or
developmental delays.
