Preschool Details: The Family and Early Childhood Education Program (FECEP)/Head Start is a full-day program that primarily serves children who are four years old by September 30. There are limited spaces available in select schools for children who are three years old by September 30. If your family qualifies for free or reduced school lunch or you are currently receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, you are eligible to apply. Enrollment is based on need; it is not based on a first-come, first-served basis. FECEP/Head Start does not have classrooms in every elementary school, so your child may be accepted to a classroom that is not at his or her base school.
Eligible Requirements: Your family may qualify for FECEP/Head Start if you have a child who will be age 3, 4 or 5 (not eligible for Kindergarten) by October 1st, receive free or reduced-price school meals, TANF, Social Security Income, and/or homeless per definition of the McKinney Vento Act and receive resources such as from a shelter and/or the FCPS homeless liaison office. Early Head Start is for children 0-3 years of age and pregnant women who live in the Reston, Herndon and Springfield areas.
Age Requirements: 3 to 5 years old
How to Apply: In order to begin the application process you will need to submit the following: 1. Application. 2. Copy of child applicant’s birth certificate. 3. Copy of residency document(s) which apply to your living situation: lease, deed, or mortgage statement. Note: If you live with someone and your name is not on a lease or deed then please download and complete the affidavits’ per the enclosed instructions. When we receive your application and supporting documents, a family service partner will contact you for a brief five to ten minute interview and provide you with a checklist of income verification documents to submit to complete the application process. The family service partner assigned to your application will help guide your family through the rest of the application process. Your application will be reviewed and eligibility verified by staff and managers. If your child is not eligible, you will receive a letter via US mail with a list of private preschools in your community and a “parent tip sheet” with ideas for helping prepare your child for transitioning to kindergarten. For families who are eligible for the program, the child applicant will either be selected, if space is available, or placed on the waitlist. If your child is placed on the waitlist, you will receive a waitlist letter via US mail. If a space becomes available and your child is selected for the space, you will receive an acceptance letter via US mail in addition to a phone call to schedule an enrollment appointment. If your child is selected for a space, the acceptance letter is mailed with required enrollment forms: school physical, dental exam, and FCPS school registration forms. Enrollment is required and must be completed before your child can begin school.
