Maricopa County Head Start Program
Administered by the Human Services Department
April 2020 Report to Board of Supervisors
Page 1 of 5
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
