Howard County Head Start Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I submit an application without the medical paperwork?

We require all medical paperwork be completed before we process your application.

We urge parents to send in all of the paperwork as soon as possible.

2. What happens after I submit my application?

Once all of the paperwork has been submitted, your application will be reviewed by staff. If any paperwork is missing,

staff will contact you. Completed applications are submitted for a final review and if space is available, your child will be

enrolled in our program. If space is not available, you will receive a letter stating your child’s wait list status. Once space is

available, staff will contact you.

3. What if my family income is higher than the income guidelines?

Your application will be processed; however, children whose family income is higher than the Federal Poverty guidelines

will only be considered for enrollment once all income-eligible children have been considered to fill our open slots.

4. Will my child get transportation?

Transportation is very limited and is based on residency center assignment and bus stop location. Transportation is not

guaranteed. Daily transportation to Old Cedar Lane is provided by parents only.

5. Can I request a center assignment?

Children are enrolled at centers primarily based on what center zone they reside in. If a parent requests a center outside of

their zoned area or accept enrollment at a center outside of their zoned area, then the parent must provide transportation to

that Center.

6. Do I need to send food with my child?

No, ALL meals (breakfast, lunch and a snack) are provided at Head Start. Children who have allergies and/or special

dietary restrictions must have documentation from a physician stating the need for a substitute and the name of the desired

substitute. The Head Start Allergy and Nutrition form has appropriate space to share this information.

7. Does my child need to be toilet-trained to attend school?

No, children do not need to be toilet- trained to attend Head Start. The Head Start staff will assist your child in becoming

toilet trained. You should send a complete set of labeled clothing for your child along with a supply of pull–ups or diapers

for use at school.

8. Can I visit the school?

Yes! We have an open-door policy and parents are encouraged to visit or volunteer at the school. However, if you need

to speak with the teacher, please plan to do so before or after class time.

9. How many days will my child attend school?

Children attend school 5 days a week. We also observe all federal holidays. We also include a week off for winter and

spring breaks. Your child is expected to attend each day that school is open unless he/she is ill or family emergency.

Head Start requires an attendance rate of 85% or higher.

10. My child has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) from the public school system.

Should I give it to Head Start?

Yes, please bring us any IEP or individual plan that you and another agency may have developed to meet your child’s

special needs. Head Start will work closely with the agency that wrote your child’s IEP or individual plan to make sure

that we provide the services that your child needs. Rev. 12/2019

Howard County Head Start

Parent Agreement and Consent Form Howard County Head Start provides comprehensive educational and developmental services to children ages 3-5.

Through our community partners we are able to refer families to various community resources based on their needs.

We at Head Start strive to form strong relationships with children and families. With your commitment to the

following policies we will help make your Head Start experience a successful one.

For children starting the program in August, parents are required to attend one of the scheduled orientation

sessions which addresses day-to-day school issues and policies and procedures.

Children must attend school each day that our program is open and he/she is well. Children who receive

transportation must be at the bus stop on time (Remember the 10 minute Rule) and have an approved adult at the

bus stop to meet them at drop-off time. Children who are frequently absent will not be prepared for Kindergarten.

Head Start requires an attendance rate of 85% or higher.

To meet both licensing and Head Start guidelines, parents must inform staff immediately of any address or phone

number changes. Changes to a child’s emergency card should be done in writing by the parent/guardian.

To meet state licensing guidelines and Head Start guidelines, parents must provide staff with documentation that

a child has received a yearly physical and twice-a-year dental check-ups.

Head Start is required to provide developmental and behavioral screenings, health screenings for hearing and

vision and height and weight, and speech/language screening. (If additional assessments are needed, staff will

meet with parents to discuss a plan of action and obtain written permission for more comprehensive assessments

and services.)

Parents are required to meet with the child’s teacher at least twice a year for Parent-Teacher Conferences to

discuss the child’s progress on his/her planned educational program.

Services to parents include two required home visits to assist families in assessing their needs and establishing

goals; parents must meet with Family Service Staff to complete a Family Partnership Agreement.

To insure that parents are involved, we strongly encourage you to attend Parent Committee Meetings, workshops

and trainings, and volunteer.

I have read the general guidelines for participation in the program. I understand that Head Start requires

an 85% or higher attendance rate.

Rev. 2/14 www.dhmh.maryland.gov

How To Use This Form

The medical provider that gave the vaccinations may record the dates (using month/day/year) directly on this form

(check marks are not acceptable) and certify them by signing the signature section. Combination vaccines should be

listed individually, by each component of the vaccine. A different medical provider, local health department official,

school official, or child care provider may transcribe onto this form and certify vaccination dates from any other record

which has the authentication of a medical provider, health department, school, or child care service.

Only a medical provider, local health department official, school official, or child care provider may sign

‘Record of Immunization’ section of this form. This form may not be altered, changed, or modified in any way.

Notes:

1. When immunization records have been lost or destroyed, vaccination dates may be reconstructed for all vaccines

except varicella, measles, mumps, or rubella.

2. Reconstructed dates for all vaccines must be reviewed and approved by a medical provider or local health

department no later than 20 calendar days following the date the student was temporarily admitted or retained.

3. Blood test results are NOT acceptable evidence of immunity against diphtheria, tetanus, or pertussis

(DTP/DTaP/Tdap/DT/Td).

4. Blood test verification of immunity is acceptable in lieu of polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, or

varicella vaccination dates, but revaccination may be more expedient.

5. History of disease is NOT acceptable in lieu of any of the required immunizations, except varicella.
