Programs
The Alliance for Community Empowerment offers Head Start for ages 3 to 5, Early Head Start for ages 6 months to 3 years, and state-funded Early Start CT preschool for ages 3 to 5 plus infant/toddler care for ages 6 weeks to 3 years. Families can ask which program fits their child.
Hours
Head Start and Early Head Start wrap-around programs run from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm based on the parent's working hours, full-day and full-year.
Fees
Federally funded Head Start and Early Head Start charge no fees. Wrap-around hours and state-funded programs use a sliding scale or standardized family co-pay based on family income.
Eligibility
Federally funded programs ask families to meet federal income guidelines. The state-funded program requires that 60 percent of enrolled families have income at or below 75 percent of the state median income, so eligibility is determined per family.
Family services
Each family is paired with a Family Advocate who builds a Family Development Plan with identified goals and provides agency referrals. Home visits are completed by the teacher and the Family Advocate.
Enrollment
Families request an application through the organization's online system, gather their documents, and bring them to an early learning center to complete an intake meeting with staff.
Program details can change, so ask about the correct phone number to reach the center, exact ages and openings for your child, daily hours and the schedule that fits your work hours, which funded program (Head Start, Early Head Start, or state-funded preschool/infant-toddler) your family qualifies for, income eligibility and any sliding-scale or co-pay fees, meals, inspection-history details, and current licensing status before making plans.
