About this PreSchool

The Chattanooga Head Start and Early Head Start program has been promoting the school readiness of Hamilton County's children ages birth to five years.
They believe the best way to prepare children is to support the development of the whole child and give parents the resources they need to achieve their goals. The classrooms provide a positive learning environment and their credentialed teachers use research based curricula to create developmental goals that are specifically tailored to each child.


If you are interested in enrolling your child:

1. Contact the center nearest to you.

2. Meet with the Family Advocate or Family Services Supervisor to apply. (They do the paperwork.)

You will need your child's birth certificate, insurance information, immunization records, and verification of income (such as a recent tax return or paycheck stub). The child's Social Security number is helpful if available.

3. Once your application is completed and processed, you will receive a letter stating whether or not your child has been accepted or placed on their waiting list.

4. If accepted, you will also receive a "Getting to Know You" home visit by the teacher to prepare your child to start classes.
