This is an application only and does not guarantee your child will be enrolled into an early childhood program. The recruitment committee will review your child's application and determine the program for which your family is most eligible. Eligibility is based on a child's age, family income, child's needs, and available openings. Documentation is required. Not all program options are available in all areas. Should you be interested in a particular program, please indicate that program below so parent preference may be considered. Local protocol will be followed regarding specific program placement.
