Federal requirements state that each child is required to have physical and dental exams completed and to provide proof within 90 days of being enrolled in Head Start.
 

Screening for Speech/Language, Hearing, Vision and Growth & Development within the first 45 days of enrollment are also part of the program.
 

Head Start gives children a chance to grow up happy, healthy and confident by providing them with the educational, social, medical and nutritional services they need.
