Enrolling Your Child

Enrollment is open year-round. Enroll your child at any time to get on the waiting list for the next opening in a Head Start program.

Requirements:
1.
The Seattle Public Schools Head Start program serves three and four year old children. Your child must reach the age of three or four by August 31 in order to enroll.

2. Head Start programs are for low-income families. You will be asked to provide proof of your income for the preceeding calendar year.

3. Seattle Public Schools Head Start programs are for families residing in Seattle. Your child must live within the Seattle city limits.

To enroll your child:
1. Complete a Seattle Public Schools Head Start Application.

 

2. Gather the following documents to submit with your application.

  • a copy of the child's immunization record
  • the child's birth certificate or other proof of the date of birth
  • a copy of a current medical coupon/medical insurance
  • proof of your family income for the preceeding calendar year.

3. Submit your application and other documents to the main office of SPS Head Start at the John Stanford Center for Educational Excellence located at 2445 Third Avenue South (Mailing address: Mail Stop 31-555, P.O. Box 34165, Seattle, WA 98124), or at an Enrollment Service Center.

 

Available classroom slots fill quickly, so submit your application with all required information as soon as possible. Applications sent without the necessary documentation delays the processing procedures.
