About this PreSchool

Head Start Registration is held in mid-March of each year. All low-income families and families of children with special needs living in Alexandria are invited to register. Children are accepted into Head Start based on income eligibility and the needs of the family and are ranked according to a point system (link to point system document) to ensure that the children of families with the most need are served by the program.
