Illinois Action for Children’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs (combined with Preschool for All and Prevention Initiative) identify, assess, educate, and serve the following groups: children with disabilities, homeless families, families in the child welfare system, families living in extreme poverty (less than 50 percent of the federal poverty level), dual-language learners, and low-income pregnant women, particularly teens.
