SUBJECT: 
EARLY HEAD START REFERRAL REPORT; REFERENCE: FAMILY SUPPORT DIVISIONS
DISCUSSION:
Report no. FIM31908-01 “Head Start Referrals” has been sent to each county office.  This report lists Temporary Assistance children in your county ages birth to 5 years who may be eligible to receive Head Start or Early Head Start services.  Head Start for children ages 3-5 years, and Early Head Start for children ages birth to 3 years, are comprehensive programs that support low income families with services including child care, parent education and support, self sufficiency, health and mental health services.

When this list arrives in your county office, it should be sent to your local Head Start agency so they may start contacting these families for possible enrollment.  If you have questions or did not receive your report, contact The Office of Early Childhood at (573) 522-1385.

NECESSARY ACTION:
  • Review and share with appropriate staff.
  • Forward report No. FIM31908-01 to your local Head Start agency.
