Children First of Baltimore

BCCCRCs Head Start Child Care Collaboration came from a vision to marry full day child care and Head Start assets to provide Baltimore City families with quality child care and the comprehensive family services Head Start offers in the areas of health, nutrition, social services, disabilities and parent involvement.

Children who are 3 to 5 years old are eligible for Head Start services. Pregnant women and children from birth to 3 years of age are eligible for Early Head Start services. Children and families who are homeless, in foster care, or receive TANF or SSI are also eligible for services. Eligibility is determined by Head Start program staff and some families may be eligible for services if they are determined to be at or below the federal poverty level. Some grantees enroll a percentage of children from families with incomes above the Poverty Guidelines as well.
