How to Apply
Head Start Enrollment
Head Start Part-Day Application Process
Parents or guardians fill out the application. This form must be fully completed. Click to download in English or Español.
Then the application form is rated with points given according to DCPC selection criteria. Selection criteria are approved annually by our Head Start Parent Council (HSPC).
If your child is eligible for enrollment, the Enrollment Specialist will send you a letter (usually in early May) and will contact you to set up a time to complete all your required enrollment forms and screenings at your new program site.
Finally, your child's Teacher and/or Family Outreach Worker will visit you in your home to complete the remaining forms and talk to you about how you and your child can participate in becoming part of our Head Start community.
