Pay for Head Start teachers varies depending on where you teach. In some areas, the wage can be over $10.00 an hour. but in some it can be a lot less than that. You do not get paid over the summer, but it might be possible to get unemployment in some areas. Pay and benefits depend on the individual Head Start programs, but in most cases Head Start pay does not come close to what regular teachers earn and the expectations are just as high.

Head Start programs are administered locally, so benefits from program to program can vary. They can include: sick days and getting unemployment in the summer.
