Head Start regulations preclude the charging of fees to parents for Head Start services. However, if a program incurs expenses to compensate employees for the caring of a child after the Head Start program has ended, parents may be charged a reasonable fee for “after care”. In all cases, fees should be collected by the program and not the employee who is providing “after care” services.
