About Head Start programs

Head Start is free for eligible families: federal rules do not allow programs to charge them a fee (45 CFR 1302.18). Early Head Start serves children under 3; Head Start preschool serves children from age 3 until they can start school.

  • Families qualify with income at or below the federal poverty guidelines, or if they receive public assistance such as TANF.
  • Children who are homeless or in foster care qualify regardless of income.
  • To apply, contact the program; it checks eligibility and may keep a waiting list.

Reviewed November 10, 2026, from 45 CFR Part 1302 (ACF, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). Head Start programs: full guide.

What documents do I need to apply to Louise B. Royal Head Start Center?

Head Start programs must verify eligibility, usually in an interview. Expect to show proof of income such as tax forms, W-2s or pay stubs, or proof of public assistance, foster care or homelessness (45 CFR 1302.12). Ask the program for its exact list.

How do I report a concern about Louise B. Royal Head Start Center?

Contact Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), which licenses child care in Florida. If you suspect abuse or neglect, call your state's child abuse hotline, or 911 in an emergency.
