The opportunity is intended to fund comprehensive early childhood programs for eligible children and to provide related family support services, consistent with the Head Start and Early Head Start program models.

This figure represents the approximate yearly federal investment intended to support Head Start and/or Early Head Start program operations for Jefferson County families, including early education, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, nutrition supports, family engagement services, and program management and quality oversight that Head Start grantees are required to provide.
