Head Start and Early Head Start are federally funded programs that promote the school readiness of young children from low-income families. Early Head Start typically serves pregnant women and children from birth to age three. Head Start serves children aged three to five years old. Both programs emphasize a holistic approach, considering not only the educational needs of children but also their health, nutrition, and family support to ensure a well-rounded foundation for learning and growth.
The Inter Tribal Council of NV Head Start program includes free nutritious meals; vision hearing, physical dental and nutritional assessments; mental health and other services for children and families with disabilities. At its core, Head Start provides all children with kindergarten readiness skills.
