Apply Online

Welcome to Spartanburg County Early Head Start. Today is a great day to apply for school readiness services for yourself as a pregnant mother and/or for your infant or toddler. If your child is over 2.5 years of age, please do not continue this intake process because your child is too old to be considered for an enrollment opportunity. We offer two programs and two options. In our traditional Early Head Start Program we offer Home Base and Center Base services. The Centers operate from 8:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. In our Child Care Partnership Program we only offer Center Base services. The Centers mainly operate from 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Families are expected to apply for a childcare voucher and pay a weekly co-pay of $10.00 dollars per child.
