Head Start is no longer administered by New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) due to federal grant outcomes.
This includes both Head Start (ages 3–5) and Early Head Start (ages 0–3).
Children currently enrolled in NYCPS-contracted Head Start or Early Head Start programs may remain in their current program through June 30, 2026. This is supported through city-funded transitional agreements.
For questions about the NYCPS Head Start Transition, email HeadStart@schools.nyc.gov.
