How this list is made: Eugene daycares where the Office of Head Start lists a Head Start or Early Head Start site, plus those whose name, website or state record says Head Start. The Oregon license list is not on DaycarePal yet, so these listings come from public business listings and show no license or inspection record. Head Start programs also run classrooms in public schools and home-based services that may not be on this list; the Office of Head Start's locator lists every site.
