You may complete your enrollment application online or in person when schools reopen.

• In Person (when schools reopen): You may be able to enroll at an MPS school. This does not improve your chances of getting your first-choice school.

Head Start Enrollment

Head Start helps ensure children are ready for school through half- and full-day programs for three-year-olds and full-day programs for four-year- olds. Head Start is federally funded and acceptance is based on income limits. Head Start enrolls all year.

The MPS Head Start program also provides parental, educational, medical, nutritional, psychological, and social support to help children consistently succeed.

Families must qualify for Head Start based on income or foster care placement.

Find out more about the MPS Head Start program. Visit the Head Start office at the Grant Gordon (formerly Lee) Learning Center, 921 W. Meinecke Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53206, or call (414) 252-0350.
