We serve 7 counties but for now the centers that are open are: King William, Gloucester, Charles City, and New Kent. You can start the application process by using this pre-application form below. Please take your time and complete each section of the application as accurately as possible. After submission, a staff member will contact you to complete the enrollment process and request any additional required documents.
