Early Head Start and Head Start
The application process for Early Head Start and Head Start is designed to be an interactive, relationship-building experience between a parent and Family Development Worker (FDW).
The process is simple. First, you should determine the location nearest to your home. Call the center directly and ask to speak to a FDW who will guide you through the process. If you are unsure what center your child should attend, please call the Head Start Hotline at 713-273-3211 for assistance or email us .
You’ll need the following documents to complete your child’s application and enrollment:
- Address verification (utility bill or lease).
Income verification (benefits letter or 1040 tax forms).
Age verification (birth certificate or birth fact).
Other documents – if available – include the child’s Social Security card, medical insurance card, an up-to-date immunization record and recent dental and physical exams.
If you do not have the exact documents for income verification, please speak with a Family Development Worker. Alternative documentation may be accepted.
Please note that verification of you or your child’s immigration status is not part of the Early Head Start and Head Start enrollment process.
