Those looking to give their kids a head start on their education got a head start on the application process Monday.
Hundreds of parents lined up outside Ballenger Early Childhood Center to pick up an application for HeadStart and Pre-Kindergarten at Lubbock I.S.D. But this year, the process is a little different. Parents now pick up an application, fill it out and then set up a meeting time with the school.
Parents we spoke with, say it's worth the wait to get their children in the program. All the 3-year old spots have been filled but a limited number of 4-year-old spots are available.
Stop by Ballenger Early Childhood Center at 1110 40th street to pick up an application or call (806) 766-1600 for more information.
