MARICOPA COUNTY HEAD START PROGRAM

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.
