Code of Federal Regulations Title 45. Public Welfare § 45.1302.18 Fees

(1) A program must only accept a fee from families of enrolled children for services that are in addition to services funded by Head Start, such as child care before or after funded Head Start hours. A program may not condition a Head Start child's enrollment on the ability to pay a fee for additional hours.

(2) In order to support programs serving children from diverse economic backgrounds or using multiple funding sources, a program may charge fees to private pay families and other non–Head Start enrolled families to the extent allowed by any other applicable federal, state or local funding sources.
