The Office of Head Start (OHS) appoints an Interim Manager to operate a Head Start or Early Head Start program when that community’s current grantee’s responsibility for the program ceases.

OHS Interim Management is operated by CDI Head Start. We have provided our services for over 20 years for more than 220 service areas nationwide. CDI Head Start continues the mission of Head Start, providing no-cost, high-quality childcare for eligible families with children ages 0-5. We are proud to be an inclusive program that serves all children, including those with disabilities. Our services also include transportation where applicable.

Enrollment at Start of CDI HS Operations

When interim management begins, all children who were enrolled with the prior Head Start or Early Head Start operator are automatically accepted/enrolled into the CDI HS or EHS program. We will stay in contact with current families to let them know what to expect, but rest assured your family will not have to reapply.

Contact the center nearest you or check for center openings as we begin services.

CDI HS wants to ensure your voice is heard. The intention of this form is to provide a way for staff and parents to share positive program experiences or areas for improvement in their local Head Start program operated by CDI HS. We want to hear about both!
We know great things are occurring at your center daily and we want to hear your story! We also want to know when we miss the mark for our learning and continuous improvement.
