From U.S. DHHS, Administration for Children and Families, Head Start Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center: The term funded enrollment refers to the number of children and pregnant people that are supported by federal Head Start funds in a program at any one time during the program year. Funded enrollment numbers include enrollment slots funded by state or other funds when used by grantees as required nonfederal match. States may provide additional funding to local Head Start programs which is not included in federal Head Start reporting.

The term cumulative enrollment refers to the actual number of children and pregnant people that Head Start programs serve throughout the entire program year, inclusive of enrollees who left during the program year and the enrollees who filled those empty places. Due to turnover, more children and families may receive Head Start services cumulatively throughout the program year than indicated by the funded enrollment numbers.
