About this PreSchool

Coordinating and collaborating is a major emphasis for the Chattanooga Head Start/Early Head Start Program. These partnerships allow for extended day and full-year care through Tennessee childcare certificates.

To enroll in Chattanooga Head Start:

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 the 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.
