Ready to learn?

NEW guidelines as of June 2022 state that families who qualify / receive SNAP benefits (food stamps) qualify for Head Start. This is great for increasing our enrollment of who can qualify!!
**Please note: our program is for 4-year-olds. We will fill spots with all 4-year-olds first. As school gets closer to starting, we may be able to accept some older 3’s if our 4’s don’t fill all the spots. We do not take children who are just turning 3. Older 3’s are those who miss the Sept 1 birthday by a month or two. We do encourage you to apply to be on our waiting list and if the time comes that we need to pick and fill spots, we can select from our waiting list. We hope this clears up some messages and questions we received about age.

Once you complete an online application through this link, a family service worker will contact you to complete the application process.
