Providence Connections (PC) is pleased to partner with Pittsburgh Public Schools (PPS) to offer preschool and pre-K slots in the District’s Head Start Supplemental Assistance Program, a state-funded initiative that provides services to children between the ages of three and five.
To participate in the program at PC, all District guidelines listed below must be followed:
- Families must submit a complete Head Start application, including all required documentation. Children cannot enter into the program at PC unless a complete application is submitted.
- Families must meet income guidelines and other criteria set by the PPS Head Start Program.
- The program runs from 9:00am to 3:00pm. If you would like your child to eat breakfast at the center, you may bring them at 8:30am and they will be served with the rest of the class.
- All children must be picked up by 3:00pm. If a child remains at the Center beyond 3:00pm, a $1.00 per minute charge will be assessed to his or her account.
- All children must arrive at the center by 9:00am unless there is a documented reason, such as a doctor’s note.
- Children must be at least three years old upon entry into the program.
- Children must be fully potty-trained (no diapers or pull-ups).
- Children must attend the program a minimum of four days per week unless there is a documented medical reason for them not attending
