Sí, ¡todavía debe presentar su solicitud! Si bien se nos considera un programa basado en los ingresos, se nos describe mejor como un programa basado en las necesidades. El equipo de inscripción toma en consideración la situación de cada familia. Los ingresos no son el único factor que interviene en la determinación de la elegibilidad.

Para la inscripción, cada niño/prenatal necesitará una solicitud y documentos de ingresos. Las vacunas y el certificado de nacimiento se pueden proporcionar en una fecha posterior.

¡Sigue aplicando! Head Start puede verificar los ingresos de muchas maneras diferentes. Si su familia no tiene hogar, recibe TANF, tiene alguien en el hogar que recibe SSI o recibe beneficios de SNAP, el personal puede usarlos para verificar. Si estos no se aplican a usted, solicítelos de todos modos y el personal trabajará con usted en la forma más fácil de documentar que no tiene ingresos.

The Office of Head Start uses the McKinney Vento definition of homeless. The term "homeless children and youths"-- (A) means individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence; and (B) includes-- (i) children and youths who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; or are abandoned in hospitals; (ii) children and youths who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings; (iii) children and youths who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings; and (iv) migratory children (as such term is defined in section 1309 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965) who qualify as homeless for the purposes of this subtitle because the children are living in circumstances described in clauses (i) through (iii).

No! Your child does not need to be potty trained to attend any of our program options (EHS and HS)! If that is a goal you are currently working on, or would like to work on, we are here to help. Our program provides all diapers, pull-ups, and wipes. If your child needs a specific type/brand, our team will work with your family to support your child.

For Early Head Start (ages 0-3): Yes, our program requires children to be immunized to be enrolled in our center-based licensed classrooms. Children also need to stay up-to-date on the Montana Vaccine Requirements for Childcare Attendance. Our program is not taking religious exemptions for immunizations. For Head Start (ages 3-5): No, immunizations are not required for your child to be enrolled. Our health team will ask for your child's immunizations for our health records, but no immunizations are required for enrollment.

Desafortunadamente, no, no aceptamos niños mayores de tres años en Missoula. Missoula Early Head Start es un programa para niños de 0 a 3 años. Si tiene un hijo mayor de tres años y reside dentro del condado de Missoula, le recomendamos que se comunique con Child Start para Head Start en Missoula. También puede comunicarse con Child Care Resources, ya que son muy útiles para encontrar cuidado infantil.
