What forms do I need for my child?

You will need to complete an application, and your child must be accepted. 
If your child is accepted, you must provide a copy of your child's certified
birth certificate. The mother's copy of the birth certificate is not
sufficient for our program. If you do not have a copy of your child's birth
certificate, one can be obtained at the Weakley County Health Department in
Dresden for a small fee. You must also provide a copy of your child's social
security card, and a Tennessee Preschool form completed for both the
immunization and the physical exam from the doctor or health department.
