Head Start Preschool Enrolling For Fall
Convenient enrollment clinics offer simplicity for children and parents
Community Partnership for Child Development (CPCD) is committed to preparing
young children in El Paso County for success in school and life. Through a
variety of FREE early childhood development programs, including the national
Head Start and Early Head Start programs, CPCD provides comprehensive
educational, physical and mental health, nutritional, and social services for
children, birth to age five, whose families live below the federal poverty
guidelines and those children with special needs.
We will host enrollment events throughout in neighborhoods throughout El Paso
County. For a listing of these events, please call us at (719) 635-1536. Or stop
by Community Partnership for Child Development, 2330 Robinson Street, Colorado
Springs, CO 80904 from 1:00 – 4:00 on the following dates:
- August 7, 2007
- October 2, 2007

Families with children under the age of five are encouraged to attend. Program
availability is limited, so parents should not delay.
Many children who enroll in CPCD programs do not have medical and/or dental
insurance. Therefore, every child who enrolls in CPCD programs will receive a
free medical, dental, hearing and vision screening from a medical professional,
as well as an iron level test and height and weight measurements. After all, a
healthy child is more likely to be ready to learn. If a child requires further
treatment, CPCD will assist families in paying for any necessary treatment
because if problems are identified early, the need for further, more costly
procedures might be reduced or eliminated.
Families who live within El Paso County and have a child under the age of five
may be eligible for enrollment. Families must qualify to enroll; however, income
is not a limiting factor for all programs. Children with special needs are
welcome.
In addition to free preschool and infant/toddler programs, CPCD offers
affordable year-round child care combined with Head Start preschool or Early
Head Start infant/toddler program.
To complete all enrollment requirements, parents should bring the following:
- the child they are enrolling
- proof of income
- child’s immunization records
- child’s birth certificate
