The New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE), on behalf of the Division of Early Childhood Education (DECE), intends to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Head Start and Early Head Start services in alignment with the regulations and expectations of the Federal Office of Head Start. Head Start and Early Head Start programs will support the comprehensive development of children from birth to age five and their families through early care and education, health and family well-being services. Awards for these services are contingent on funding from the Office of Head Start.
