Welcome! Here families can begin the pre-application for Douglass Community Services Head Start/Early Head Start/Child Care Partnership if they are interested in services for their 0-5 year old child or for themselves if they are a pregnant woman. Our program is a family oriented program that focuses on comprehensive services for school readiness. Our program has both home and center based services, and parents are an important part of everything our program does! Please complete the information below. Once we receive the interest worksheet, we will contact you. We will need to get copies of your income information and your child's immunizations. We will want to see your child's birth certificate (or other documentation) and health insurance information. Don't worry if you don't have these documents. We will help you get them! If your child has special needs, be sure to let us know! We will review your child's IFSP or IEP and work with you on those goals! Thank you for your interest in our program!
