Savoonga Early Head Start Program

Rural Alaska Community Action Program (RurAL CAP) is a comprehensive child development program that has been operating Head Start and Early Head Start programs in rural Alaska since 1965. Their Head Start program serves children ages three to five, while Early Head Start serves prenatal women and children from birth to three years old. These programs aim to enhance the social and cognitive development of low-income children and their families by providing educational, health, nutritional, social, and other related services.

RurAL CAP's Head Start programs are open to children and families who are homeless, in foster care, or receive TANF or SSI. Eligibility is determined by program staff, and some families may qualify if they are at or below the federal poverty level. In addition to serving families in need, RurAL CAP also enrolls a percentage of children from families with incomes above the Poverty Guidelines. Families are encouraged to apply for these valuable services that promote school readiness and support the overall well-being of children and their families.
