The Tuskegee-Macon County Head Start Program is now accepting application for the 2010-2011 school year for all centers and for the PRE-K located in the Notasulga and Benson Avenue Centers.

Head Start is a pre-school child and family development program that emphasizes the social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth of a child.

There are 36 Pre-K slots available at Notasulga Center and Benson Avenue Center.

Children must be three years old by September 1 or four years old to be accepted into Head Start. Children must be four years old to be accepted into the Pre-K classrooms.
