Anyone send their FC to Head Start?

One of the programs that NORWESCAP offers is Head Start - like a pre-school program. According to their website, it is no charge, but only for low-income households.

BUT, I know foster children qualify for a lot of services that we would not qualify for otherwise.

So, I am just wondering if anyone using Head Start and if there is any cost involved.

I am planning on calling anyway, but figured someone might have some experience

I am affiliated with a head start program in NJ. Head start placements are made using a point system and foster children are given priority. Your income should not come into place as long as the kids are still foster. Contact your local program. They should be more than willing to help you out.
