Description: Established in 1981, the Head Start Sponsoring Board Council of the City of New York ("HSSBC," or the "Council") is the middle source between the City of New York's receivers of federal Head Start dollars and approximately 70 delegate agencies which operate over 200 Head Start direct service centers throughout the five boroughs. Any agency receiving Head Start funds from the New York City Administration for Children's Services are automatically members of HSSBC. The Council is a membership organization with 2,500 unionized and 500 management (non-unionized) employees. The Council is a federal non-profit tax exempt organization under the I.R.S. 501(c)(3) code. It is tax exempt under the laws of New York State.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
