There was a program as early as 1961, based on testing experiments conducted in 1958. It was housed in theoldAlterraHfgh School from 1961 to 1965. Supposedly the originators of Head Start used the Ute preschool program as a moder for the current program, with the Ute Tribe Head Start Program, offi- dally getting funding assistance starting in 1966 from the Department of Health and Human Services, among others. The program has been several times since then and is designed under federally mandated guidelines for children primarily from families at or below the poverty level, which is determined by income and number of children. Clay said that the program can enroll other children as well, but 90 of their enrollment must be from poverty level or below. The program works with three and four year-olchildren, as well as those who turn five, after September of the year they enter.
