The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services has announced due to change in guidelines, Nebraskan families who qualify for SNAP now qualify for Early Head Start and Head Start.
Those interested in Early Head Start and Head Start should visit Head Start Center Locator | ECLKC (hhs.gov) to locate a program in their community.
Head Start is a federally funded program aimed at promoting school readiness, enhancing cognitive, social and emotional development of children from low-income families. Many Head Start programs also provide Early Head Start programs that serve infants, toddlers, pregnant women and their families.
