Head Start continues to provide services to enrolled 
children and families using technology and other 
creative resources to the extent possible. The 
program began modified services on March 16th 
and reached full site closures on April 1st, initiating 
Stay Home/Stay Safe practices.   
 
During these challenging times, our team continues 
to maintain our commitment to enroll young 
children experiencing homelessness, foster care, in 
low income families and with disabilities.  
 
 
Program mandate:  
 Serve children with identified disabilities or 
developmental delays at no less than 10% of 
the total enrollment 
 128 Current Enrollment 
 
This program year, 143 young children had the 
opportunity to be educated alongside their 
typically developing peers.  
Head Start maintains a waitlist for each center to  
ensure replacement of children who leave or 
transfer out of the program 
 Currently, EHS/HS program capacity meets the 
early care and education needs of less than 8% 
of eligible children and families in the Maricopa 
County service area  
 Maintaining a waitlist of eligible children helps 
the program fill vacancies quickly and identify 
underserved areas
