Preschool/Head Start
How do I register for preschool?
It is time for REGISTRATION for Fall Preschool classes (2012-13). Call now for an appointment to register your preschooler. Our number is 538-4041.
It is also time for free PRESCHOOL SCREENINGS. Children should be 3 by the time of the screening. If you are registering your child for Preschool, we will give you an appointment for a screening when you come in to do paperwork.
IF you are NOT income eligible and will therefore not be registering for Preschool, but would like a screening, you should call the Preschool Office for an appointment. The number is 538-4041.
EARLY HEAD START applications will also be accepted now for placement in August. This program serves pregnant women and children birth to 3 years of age. We offer either center-based services or home-based services. Both options offer age appropriate learning opportunities, health and developmental screenings, and services to families. Families must meet federal income guidelines. Please call 538-4041 for an appointment to register for Early Head Start.
(Parents are responsible for transporting children who are enrolled in Early Head Start, but Head Start staff will assist families to understand and access transportation in order to participate in program activities).
