We welcome children with special needs, food allergies and other medical conditions. Please note that additional follow up may be requested from agencies and/or medical providers currently working with your child in order to ensure that the program meets your child’s needs.
We use a point system that gives selection priority in certain situations, so it is important to answer each question on the application.
If you have questions about the application, need help in returning it, or would like copies made of your documents, please call us at (707) 462-2582.
After processing your application, we will send a letter about your child's application status. Please note your application will only be consideredfor the program year you are applying for. Thank you for choosing the NCO Head Start Child Development Program as part of your child's early learning experience. We look forward to meeting you and your child.
