Selection Criteria

In order to reach those most in need of Head Start services, our Agency must develop and implement a recruitment process that is designed to actively inform all families with Head Start eligible children within the recruitment area. Head Start staff can use these guidelines to establish and set criteria that define the types of children and families given priority for recruitment and selection. Each Head Start program must have a formal process for establishing selection criteria and for selecting children and families that considers all eligible applicants for Head Start services.  Listed below is LCCAA's Selection Criteria.
