MARICOPA COUNTY HEAD START PROGRAM
ADMINISTERED BY THE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT
October 2021 Report to Board of Supervisors
HUMAN SERVICES
DEPARTMENT
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 children with
identified disabilities or developmental delays at
no less than 10% of the total enrollment.
Waitlist
Head Start maintains a waitlist for each center to
ensure replacement of children who leave or
transfer out of the program.
Maintaining a waitlist of eligible children helps
the program fill vacancies quickly and identify
underserved areas.
